Great Charles Wright’s New Book “Up from Where We’ve Come” AVAILABLE NOW In Celebration Of Black
History Month!
A Historical
Autobiography Detailing the Racism and Hardship the Wright Family Faced as
Sharecroppers Near Clarksdale, Mississippi Circa The '40s and early '50s.
(Los
Angeles, CA) Charles Wright, the great soul musician known for the song
“Express Yourself” is proud to announce the release of his first book, “Up From Where We’ve
Come.” The first
installment in a planned series of autobiographies, “Up
From Where We’ve Come” is an up-close and intimate telling of Charles’
childhood and the Wright family’s back-breaking struggles as sharecroppers near
Clarksdale, Mississippi through the
'40s and early '50s. Written in the raw dialects of how Blacks and Whites
communicated during that era, it's a riveting insider’s glimpse into the
realities of the times.
“Do we truly know the full extent of our history?” Charles
challenges. “I’m willing to bet that most
of us do not have the slightest idea. ‘Up From Where
We’ve Come’ is the history
of me as a child growing up in the cotton fields of Mississippi at a time few,
except people such as myself, remember. It’s an intimate slice of America’s
history.
Remember
--- a pie is not complete until every slice is accounted for. ‘Up From Where
We’ve Come’ is an
important piece of history which every true American should seek to
experience…especially those who are seeking the truth.”
SoulTracks.com raves, “’Up From Where We’ve Come’ emerges as a
triumphant and highly unique literary statement from a man whose music has
already touched several generations of fans…”
