"If the nation ever finds itself examining its real relation to the Negro, it will find itself doing infinitely more than that; for the anti-Negro attitude of whites represents but a tiny part ― though a symbolically significant one ― of the moral attitude of the nation." ― #RichardWright #BlackHistory
Today in Labor History March 25, 1931: The authorities arrested the Scottsboro Boys in Alabama and charged them with rape. The Scottsboro Boys were nine African American youths, ages 13 to 20, falsely accused of raping two white women. A lynch mob tried to murder them before they had even been indicted. All-white juries convicted each of them. Several judges gave death sentences, a common practice in Alabama at the time for black men convicted of raping white women. The Communist Party and the NAACP fought to get the cases appealed and retried. Finally, after numerous retrials and years in harsh prisons, four of the Scottsboro Boys were acquitted and released. The other five were got sentences ranging from 75 years to death. All were released or escaped by 1946. Poet and playwright Langston Hughes wrote it in his work Scottsboro Limited. And Richard Wright's 1940 novel Native Son was influenced by the case.

Goosebumps - Echoes with David and Richard. As he stated, David would never play this again after Richard's passing. A moment gone but captured in history.
49 years ago, on September 12, 1975, Pink Floyd released the album "Wish You Were Here". Which track is your favorite?

Nel 1996 Richard Wright tira fuori quel capolavoro semi sconosciuto di Broken China
I'm ill with a fever, I feel like a child
I lay in the dark 'til morning came.
It's so unoriginal
And I feel it worse at night
I know it's not terminal
But I'm near half-dead fright
And freezing cold.
But sooner than woke up
To find it all unchanged
I'll sleep through the day til the daylight ends.
'Cause it's all so familiar
As it comes around again
The same taste to everything
The same unbroken chain
That still remains.
With morning I rise,
A dream that won't leave me,
You're sad, naked and pale
And you're reaching for the rail
You took a look inside, how could you peel away
Or break the shell, the hurt you've hidden so well
For all your days.
And you're going down
As you slip beneath the waves,
Won't make a sound
Won't even leave a trace before you.
I hear an appalling sigh from the streets below
And it's creeping fear congealed in stone
That paves the crazy road.
And all are succumbing and they look so hopelessly
At the heartbreak, it's easy to deal with,
Just take these and you'll really never feel it.

Yo opino que el aporte de #RichardWright en #PinkFloyd ha sido bastante subvalorado. Me parece que su aporte al sonido de la banda es esencial y que no podría haber Pink Floyd sin Wright. O, al menos, sería algo muy diferente.
Este álbum ed una verdadera maravilla.y esta edición, remezclada y remasterizadas por el mismísimo Steven Wilson, suena impecable. ¡Qué grande que fue -y sigue siendo- Richard Wright!

Rock And Roll Garage · A complete guide to who was the singer in each Pink Floyd songLike almost all the extremely successful bands in the history of music, Pink Floyd also had many eras with members and it’s not always easy to identify which member of the group sings each track of their long discography.

Every time I hear Jim Croce's *Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown*, I think of you, Bigger Thomas.
As big and dumb as a man can come, that's you.
What were you thinking when you carried your boss's drunken daughter into her bedroom? How did you think this would end well?
Then there's poor Bessie. For reasons we'll never know, she saw something in you. Yet you did what you did. Why?

A moment to share some genuine love for Pink Floyd's 2014 album Endless River. Essentially an instrumental exercise building on out-takes of keyboardist the late Richard Right, it includes moments of sublime, hair-standing beauty (q.v. Ebb and Flow).
I'm not comparing it with their other work, although it is reminiscent of the best instrumental bits of Wish You Were Here, due in no small part to the prominence of Wright on both.
