This is a picture of African-American novelist Richard Wright and his daughter, Julia. I finished Margaret Walker's Jubilee recently, and it's made me want to delve into the genre of African-American Lit and Historical Fiction with themes of US race relations. Perhaps Wright's Black Boy is soon in my queue. Did you know both Wright and Walker lived in Jackson, MS, at some point in their lives? Wright spent much of his boyhood there; Walker was a professor at JSU.
