Charles H. Wright was born in Dothan, Alabama and graduated from Southeast High School in 1935.[2] He attended Alabama State College, graduating in 1939, and entered Meharry Medical College, from which he graduated in 1943.[2] Wright wanted to enter Obstetrics and Gynecology, but there was no slot available. Instead, he served two residencies in pathology, one at Harlem Hospital in New York City, and the second at Cleveland City Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio.[2]
Wright practiced general medicine in Detroit from 1946 until 1950, at which time Harlem Hospital notified him of an opening in their Obstetrics and Gynecology residency program.[2] He returned to New York and completed his residency there in 1953.[2]
PracticeWhen Wright retuned to Detroit, he received admitting privileges at Hutzel Hospital, and was board certified as a general surgeon and OB/GYN specialist in 1955.[2] He became a Senior Attending Physician at Hutzel Hospital until his retirement in 1986. He was also an emeritus attending physician at Harper-Grace Hospital, a senior attending physician at Sinai Hospital, and served as an assistant clinical professor of OB-GYN at Wayne State University Medical School.[2]

In 1960, Wright ordered funds for medical training for Africans in United States through the Detroit Medical Society. Within the year of 1964-1965, Wright engaged in a medical surveys in West Africa.[2] He served as a physician during the civil rights marches in 1965 in Bogalusa, Louisiana.[2]
Wright was the writer and publisher of the Medical Association Demand Equal Opportunity, and wrote two books on Paul Robeson: Robeson: Labour's Forgotten Champion and The Peace Advocacy of Paul Robeson.[2]
In 1965, Wright opened the International Afro-American Museum on West Grand Boulevard.[3] The next year, he opened a traveling exhibit to tour the state.[3] In 1978, the city of Detroit agreed to lease the museum a plot of land in Midtown.[3] Groundbreaking for the new museum occurred in 1985, and the museum was renamed the Museum of African American History. A larger museum was built ten years later, opening in 1997.[3] In 1998, the museum was renamed the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in dedication of Dr. Wright. [more]

Our Tale Begins Within A Few Years After The End Of The First Quarter
Of The 17th Century, At Boston, In Massachusetts, Then In The Infancy
Of Its Settlement.
On An Evening In The Month Of May, Were Assembled Some Seven Or Eight
Men Around A Table, In A Long, Low Room, The Sides Only Of Which Were
Plastered, The Rough Beams And Joists Overhead Being Exposed To View;
The Windows Were Small, And The Floor Without A Carpet; And The
Furniture Consisted Of The Table, Over Which Was Spread A Black Cloth,
Whereupon Stood Several Lighted Candles In Brass Candlesticks, Of A
Dozen Chairs, Covered With Russet-Colored Leather, And Of Some Wooden
Benches, Ranged Against The Walls, And Which Were Occupied By Various
Persons. At One End Of The Apartment The Floor Was Raised A Few
Inches, And The Chair Standing On This Elevation Differed From The
Others In Having Arms At The Sides, And In Being Of Ampler Proportions,
As If By Its Appearance To Vindicate A Claim To Superior Position. But
Unpretending As Was The Room, It Was A Place Of No Little Importance,
Being No Less Than The Court Hall And Council Chamber Of The "Governor
And Company Of The Massachusetts Bay, In New England." At The Moment
Of Which We Are Speaking, It Was Appropriated To A Meeting Of The
Court Of Assistants Of The Colony. [more]

Arundel Had Now An Opportunity To Look Round And Observe The State Of
Things. Besides The Knight And Himself, There Were Seven Or Eight
Indians In The Little Cavern, Armed With Bows And Arrows; And He
Remarked With Pleasure That These Persons Were Not Stained With
War-Paint, Indicating That They Were On No Hostile Expedition, But
Engaged In Hunting. So Far From Offering Violence, Or Even Rudeness,
The Savages Treated Them With Marked Deference, Keeping At A
Respectful Distance, And Yielding To Them The Piles Of Hemlock
Branches Which They Had Arranged For Couches. Arundel Listened To The
Conversation Between The Knight And The Indians With That Strained
Attention With Which One Unacquainted With A Language Will Sometimes
Hang Upon Its Sounds, As If By A Concentration Of The Faculties To
Wring A Sense Out Of It; And If He Was Unable To Make Out The Meaning
Of The Words, He At Least Satisfied Himself, Both From The Intonation
Of The Voices And Expression Of The Faces, That No Immediate Injury
Was Designed. To The Appealing Looks Which Arundel From Time To Time
Directed To Him, The Knight At Length Replied:
"I Know Not, Master Arundel, Whether We Should Consider Ourselves More
Fortunate Or The Contrary, In Falling Into The Hands Of These
Copper-Colored Cavaliers. We Are Their Prisoners, And, As Such, Bound
To Obey Their Motions; But Their Presence Will Guard Us From Attack,
And In That Way Be A Shield; And Their Treatment In Other Respects
Will Shame, I Doubt Not, The Conduct Of More Civilized Men In Like
Circumstances."
"Know You," Inquired Arundel, "The Name Of Their Tribe, And Their
Intentions Towards Us?"
"They Are Taranteens, And, As Far As I Can Learn, Mean To Take Us To
One Of Their Villages. It Was Fortunate Your Shot Took Not Effect;
For, Otherwise, I Know Not What Would Have Been The Consequence." [more]

That Portion Of Territory Known Throughout Christendom As Kentucky, Was,
At An Early Period, The Theatre Of Some Of The Wildest, Most Hardily
Contested, And Bloody Scenes Ever Placed On Record. In Fact Its Very
Name, Derived From The Indian Word Kan-Tuck-Kee, Which Was Applied To It
Long Before Its Discovery By The Whites, Is Peculiarly Significant In
Meaning--Being No Less Than "The Dark And Bloody Ground." History Makes
No Mention Of Its Being Inhabited Prior To Its Settlement By The Present
Race; But Rather Serves To Aid Us To The Inference, That From Time
Immemorial It Was Used As A "Neutral Ground," Whereon The Different
Savage Tribes Were Wont To Meet In deadly Strife; And Hence The
Portentious Name By Which It Was Known Among Them. [more]
