 **//Richard Coleman’s Biography written by //** **//Edith Wharton released //**   Two weeks ago, Edith Wharton, the famous author of “The House of Mirth” mentioned that she has finished the writing of her new project, “The Biography of Richard Coleman” during an interview session on the McClure’s Magazine.                  (The picture of Richard Coleman that is set to be used as the cover of the biography)  The book covers most of the life of Richard Coleman, the well-known social reformer, from his childhood to his recent death, which tragically came after his campaign regarding the African-American civil rights movement.  The story of Richard Coleman’s youth is drawing the public’s attention, for that the conflict of discord between him as a dedicated progressive, and his father as the head of the Coleman Mining Company, is descriptively told through the chapters. “I was able to have deep conversations with Richard on this subject,” explained Wharton. “Although, he wasn’t resistant about revealing his personal feelings and experience, he made sure that minimum criticism shall hit his father, Mr. Samuel Coleman’s, business by this piece. And I respect that.” It is revealed that Coleman encountered the motivation to become a social reformer, during his early years working in his father’s mining company. He resented the industry for consistently paying little attention to providing safe conditions underground. Over the years, the cave-ins and serious explosions that used to be major issues are mostly gone by the gradual improvements, which started after the revelation of the workers from mines own by the Rockefeller Company. However Coleman suggested that the hazards in the undergrounds still remain extremely dangerous, and they are not taken seriously because of the company’s lacking interests on the labors’ well-being. It seems like it is only yesterday when he quitted from the industry, 14 years ago. Within only two years, by joining the City Planning and Reform movement Richard Coleman became one of the most well-known social reformers regarding labor reform, government corruption, and worker’s right movements. He then moreover dedicated on settling racial discrimination, woman’s rights, and even prison reforms. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“He is a good friend of Florence Kelley,” said Wharton. “In fact, he is a friend to many people we know.” It is widely known that Coleman supported many activists by huge funds, yet it is first time revealed that he was a good friend of almost every one of them. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“The Biography of Richard Coleman,” written by Edith Wharton, published by The Citizen’s Library, is available as of today. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">(Edith Wharton, at the desk – office of The Citizen’s Library)
