Rev. Dan Wright, my first interview, on racism in WW2. I was blessed to this man, RIP and thanks for your service Rev. Dan



94 y.o. Rev. was in a Hospice when I met him and was my first interview. After the war, he was ordained as an AME minister at Charleston's famous Mother Emanuel Church.

Then he built his own church down in Jacksonboro, S. C. I was blessed to attend his funeral last year, and his church is very handsome and large. It was overfilled and treated as a celebration of his life. One of his congregants (a child at the time)was one of the 9 killed at Mother Emanuel. Unfortunately, this news was a burden to him in his last year. THANK YOU SIR FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR OUR COUNTRY AND MANKIND!
