Pain Inflicted by a Nation by Harold Wright

pain inflicted by a nation

Harold has been an activist for African American business and labor in the building construction industry since 1960 and is also the author of Radiant and Light Rail in the Valley. He lives in seattle with his wife.

Pain Inflicted by a Nation will only highlight the misuse of African American people. Their history has never been told truthfully. Harold brings matters to readers’ attention like hidden history and African American potential. As you read this book you will find areas the author has stressed his ideas and thought, and then you will find quotations from others inserted throughout these pages.

“African American people need to develop such documents in order to preserve the history of our suffering, allowing us to document the ways in which this nation has abused us. But of course, we were not the only victims. We resisted our victimization and so documents of this sort must also include an enumeration of our attempts to resist our victimization. We must not, indeed, we dare not, forget our history for it is part of who we are today. Mr. Harold Wright, the author of Pain Inflicted by a Nation, is making a contribution to this effort.”
– Albert W. Black, Ph. D, Sociology, University of California Berkeley

“This book is a depiction of the devastation of Alzheimer’s disease and the struggles of caring for someone living with Alzheimer’s. It also provides lessons, obstacles, and memories shared through the eyes of a care partner and a man who loves, and devoted his life to caring for, his wife.”
– Marissa D.

“This book was an inspiration. Not only of a love so un-wavering, but the perseverance of a caregiver.
