Wright's decision to move north in my opinion was a positive change in his life. Living in the South as a black man requires an attitude of one's self-worth that is explicitly dictated by the white people of that community. The standards they expect the blacks to live in is patronizing and limiting. Because Wright questions these unmoral behaviors and refuses to allow himself to be scrutinized and belittled consistently by his principles, co-workers, and employers he had to find an escape and seek a home that is closer to equality and demonstrates a higher amount of human respect. Chicago will not ultimately eliminate the discrimination aimed towards him, but it will tone it down and I think Wright's well being will become more positive and stable.
