LAWRENCE TEACHERS TO HELP MARK AUTHOR'S CENTENNIAL This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Richard Wright, author of “Native Son” and “Black Boy.” (Sept. 4, 1908 – Nov. 28, 1960) http://www.richardwrightat100.ku.edu/index.html A KU English faculty member, Maryemma Graham, has been on the road many times this past year — including making

presentations in Germany, in Paris, France and in Japan to groups observing Wright’s 100th anniversary year. In Paris, Graham was joined by one of Wright’s daughters, Julia, who makes her home in Paris (as did her father). Julia Wright and Graham also made presentations for Japanese scholars in Japan. Next week, Graham and a group of Lawrence Public Schools' teachers are headed to Jackson, Miss., for a statewide Wright centennial observance on Sept. 4.
