In the annals of history, there exists a remarkable and largely overlooked figure who defied the odds and engaged in a face-to-face conversation with one of the most infamous leaders the world has ever known: Adolf Hitler.
His name was Milton Samuel J. Wright, an esteemed economist hailing from the vibrant city of Savannah, Georgia. Born on June 28, 1903, to William and Edith Burnside Wright, Milton's journey would take him from the sun-drenched streets of the American South to the hallowed halls of academia and, ultimately, to an encounter that would forever shape his legacy forever.
With an insatiable thirst for knowledge and a burning desire to make a difference, Wright embarked on his educational journey at Wilberforce University in Ohio. It was there that he honed his intellectual prowess, graduating with a bachelor's degree in economics in 19 26. Fuelled by ambition and a quest for deeper understanding, he then set his sights on Columbia University, where he pursued his master's degree in economics, a testament to his dedication and scholarly pursuits.
He continued his academic pursuits by earning his Ph.D. in Economics from Germany's prestigious University of Heidelberg in 1932. His dissertation, titled "Economic Development and Indigenous Policy in the African Protectorates," delved into the complexities of colonialism, economic systems, and the impact of policies on indigenous populations. Wright's meticulous research shed light on the flaws of the colonial system and advocated for equitable policies that empowered African communities. His Ph.D. from Heidelberg solidified his academic prowess, exposed him to a rich intellectual environment, and shaped his thinking in the pursuit of social justice and economic equality.
As the world teetered on the precipice of tumultuous times in the early 20th century, Wright's academic achievements propelled him into the realm of international affairs and economic policy. His keen insights and analytical prowess caught the attention of esteemed institutions, and he quickly emerged as a rising star in the field of economics.
In an era fraught with political upheaval and the rise of dictatorial regimes, Wright's unique perspective as a black man navigating the world of academia and international relations brought a fresh and vital voice to the conversation. It was against this backdrop that fate would intertwine his path with that of Adolf Hitler, the enigmatic leader whose ideology would plunge the world into darkness.
