Inscription reads: To my cousin Richard Wright and all his family - but to him especially for he is also trying to do what Romain Rolland said I was trying to do: -- trying to combat prejudice--and to find that he was trying & combat those prejudices was an inexpressible comfort. With comradeship and affection Anna Melissa Grace. This is believed to be the noted writer. Graves was a writer, teacher, traveler, and internationalist. From the 1920s to the 1940s Graves traveled through Africa, Central and South America, China, Europe, and the Middle East. She taught school in many of these places and maintained a voluminous correspondence with the teachers, acquaintances, and former students she met on her travels. Graves was an active member of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. While living in Geneva she acted as a consultative member for the WILPF on the League of Nations Liberia Commission. This Commission attempted to settle the dispute between the Liberian government and the Firestone Rubber Company. Interested in promoting understanding between peoples of different countries, Graves published four collections of the correspondence she received from all over the world. The issue of racial and ethnic prejudice was an important one for Graves and her books reflect this concern. The four volumes are: Benvenuto Cellini had no Prejudice Against Bronze; Both Deeper Than and Above the Melee; But the Twain Do Meet; and The Far East is Not Very Far. Ms. Graves may have ascribed 'Cousin' to many people, as at least one other inscribed copies were written to a 'cousin'--perhaps an attribute similar to "Citizen" used during the French Revolution. Richard Nathaniel Wright (September 4, 1908 - November 28, 1960) was an American author of novels, short stories, poems, and non-fiction. Much of his literature concerns racial themes, especially related to the plight of African Americans during the late 19th to mid-20th centuries suffering discrimination and violence. Literary critics believe his work helped change race relations in the United States in the mid-20th century. He and Ms. Graves may have had an involvement in Communism in common, note her use of the word 'comradeship' in the inscription. Ink note about the Wright Library on Dedication page. This is a fascinating collection of letters from the period the editor was working and traveling in West Africa.
