Michelle Childres and I visited the former home of famous author Richard Wright on June 17, 2019, in Natchez, Miss. Michelle, a history buff from Louisiana, discovered the house while we were driving around searching for the Natchez College building. She was admiring the architecture of old houses when one caught her attention.
"Stop," she said as I was driving. "Go back! I saw the house of a famous author."
Wright's house, as it turned out, was only a short distance from the school. The house is located on East Woodlawn Avenue near Garden Street. Wright penned the classics, Native Son and Black Boy.
