12 Million Black Voices by Richard Wright

5.0

Written by Richard Wright in 1941. In this book, Richard Wright speaks for the millions of blacks who were in search of something better in life and was willing to go to any extreme to get it. Richard Wright tells of what it was like for millions of black to migrate to the North (or out of the South) to leave one form of slavery only to encounter other forms of slavery. He focuses on the three classes of men. Some things Wright mention's in this book hold true today. Not all black people are poor, a few of us do have money, many of us have managed to send our children to colleges and some of our children are professional businessmen and women. Some of us own small businesses and other devote their lives to law and medicine. This is a very informative book and I think everyone should read this not just people of color.
