    LOVE FRAMED IN BLACK & WHITE: A POWERFUL STUDY IN LOVE, RACE AND COURAGE “I can recall as a child being drawn to my great-grandmother’s photo albums.

Wright’s family from the marriage of her white third great-grandfather, Judge William Ramey, to former Edgefield slave, Kitty Simpkins, to the later generations of ancestors who made Augusta, Georgia their home.

    “The more I tell the story, the more I realize how much of a social impact it can have in today's society; how their legacy of love and courage really is an example of how we should live our lives...today.” –Paula C. Wright Call the Georgia Heritage Room for details. 706-826-1511.
