Milton Wright was an African-American academic who attended Germany’s Heidelberg University in the early 1930s. Information about his life is not easy to come by, but he figured in an episode of anti-racist radio show New World A-Coming which presented a fictionalized conversation between Wright and Hitler, who meet by chance at a party. Hitler points out that blacks have no voting rights, and derides them for being docile about their oppression, saying "Negroes must be definitely third-class people to allow white[s] to lynch them, beat them, segregate them, without rising up against them!"[1]
