CoverAwards Exclusive Interview: Uptown's EIC Brett Wright Sees Obama Victory as a "Great Day for All Americans"
CoverAwards spoke to Uptown’s Editor in Chief regarding Barack Obama’s historic victory:
“Obama’s election is a great day for all Americans. It has renewed the trust in the Democratic system and changed the face of race relations for the entire world,” Wright tells CoverAwards exclusively.
“For Uptown readers, Obama’s election changes the way affluent African Americans are viewed by others, allowing us to become visible to a large audience of people who may have overlooked us in the past.
This is a first step in opening up the dialogue that has been silenced and overlooked for generations. The people have spoken and change is coming.
Yes we did!”
