- Summary
- Playwright August Wilson discusses his roots in Pittsburgh's black community, his unhappy experiences with the public school system, how he feels his plays express the African-American experience, how the African heritage of Black Americans is both expressed and repressed in American society today, and the importance of blues as cultural expression. Several of his recent plays are discussed, including Two trains running, Joe Turner's come and gone, and The piano lesson.
