Contemporary African American dramatists such as Amiri Baraka,
James Baldwin, August Wilson, and Suzan-Lori Parks as well as
Lorraine Hansberry, Alice Childress, and Pearl Cleage find their
creative inspiration in historical events from slavery to the civil
rights movement. From the Emmett Till-inspired character in
Baldwin's Blues for Mister Charlie to Parks's recreation of Lincoln
and Booth, these playwrights show that history is the mirror that
shapes the identities of African American writers and characters.
