Books by Kai Wright

An anthology of more than 300 letters, speeches, articles, petitions, poems, songs and works of fiction tracing the course of black history in America - from the first slaves brought over in the 16th century to the events of the present day. It includes the words and writings of politicians, writers, musicians and sportsmen.

In Drifting Toward Love, journalist Kai Wright introduces us to Manny, Julius, Carlos, and their friends, young gay men of color desperately searching for life's basic necessities. With these vivid, intimate portraits, Wright reveals both their heroism and their mistakes, placing their stories into a larger social context.
