Kenneth Bright
Death Row, Georgia
My name is Kenneth
Bright - I am a death row inmate here in Jackson GA, USA.
I am 6'4 - 235 - I am now 42 years of age (July 17-60)...I'm black ! The
reason for telling y'all
that I'm a black man is because of a somewhat funny experience I had with
a pen pal - I was
writing to this lady for some time about a year or so ago - things seemed
to be going real well
- So well that she became a friend to me in my heart - Get this! For
some reason - all the time
we had been writing to each other she was thinking that I was white - It
came up one day and
when I told her I was black - she said in her next and last letter to me
that she was thinking
I was white - the reason she gave was this (now get this) because of my last
name being BRIGHT
- I could not stop laughing at that :) for that was a first...thinking I
was white cause my name is
BRIGHT - now that was a good one. But in time it made me somewhat sad
and hurt as well as
disappointed in that being the reason for not writing to me anymore.
But! I had to respect her
feelings and get over it. I gave up on the pen pal service thing for
some time - but because it is
hard to deal with my feelings of loneliness at times - once more here I am...My
interests!
I read about what's going on in our world today - I would love to see pictures
of places of that
I have never been. I like for my mind to be taken away from being
here on death row and the
loneliness that comes with it. Looking for : someone that really wants
to help and become a
real pen friend to someone like me. No more pen pals, for pen
pals just come and go - and that
can really hurt one's heart......sincerely,
