The Wright Side of History

This is the story of John Richard Wright, who was the second child born to Richard Wright and Hazel Speed Wright on November 28, 1916, in New Orleans, Louisiana. He became a star in the world of Negro League Baseball, where he was known as Johnny "Needle Nose" Wright. My Dad was moved to the background so that the main character in his story, Jackie Robinson, would have all of the focus and the headlines. I understand that and am not trying to downplay what Mr. Robinson accomplished in any way. However, it is now time for Johnny Wright to have his full story told.
