Wright's birthplace

Mexikan? The guy was a black American. http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=009596 82.83.67.8 19:25, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

His family worked as migrant workers, and he was from Durango, Colorado, which has been mistakenly interpreted as Durango, Mexico. I will fix.--Matt1978 20:26, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chalky "Albert"Wright was African American and his mother was my Great Great Grandfathers sister Clara Martin Wright. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.211.148.101 (talk) 03:36, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The International Boxing Hall of Fame puts Wright's birthplace as Durango, Mexico. I have yet to find a source for his ancestry, although he was without a doubt a black man. Remember, we must go with verifiable facts from reliable sources. // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 03:34, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Durango, Mexico

Needs disambiguating. City or state? Aille (talk) 17:33, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chalky "Albert" Wrights family was from Bonita, AZ, a ranching family in the late 1800's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.211.148.101 (talk) 03:38, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
