Aaron Demetrist Wright, who was affectionately and so aptly called, “Brick”, by his family because of his stocky build, grew up in poverty, as many blacks on the South Side of Chicago did on September 14, 1971. The condition of his upbringing, although not surprising to most of America, was but a symptom of what was happening socially in urban ghettos throughout this country. Somehow all of the stories I’d ever heard in life had paled in comparison to finding out that someone you looked up to was thrust into an existence that many would never ask for. Moving away from a crime-ridden neighborhood as a toddler into yet another potentially dangerous area, “The Hole” which was part of the Robert Taylor Homes, was traumatic. But even more than that, imagine being given the title of “Chief Enforcer” of what would become a notorious street organization before you are even deemed a grown man. I didn’t think I could ever do his story justice but I set out to try because I realized quickly that in order to get to the genesis of the life of Aaron Wright, I had to get to know my brother all over again.
