who helped to lay the foundations of African American drama.
Included are Thelma Myrtle Duncan's "Sacrifice," Maud
Cuney-Hare's "Antar of Araby," John Matheus's "Ti Yette," May
Miller's "Graven Images" and "Riding the Goat," Willis Richardson's
"The Black Horseman, ""The King's Dilemma, " and "The House of
Sham, " Inez M. Burke's "Two Races, " Dorothy C. Guinn's "Out of
the Dark, " Frances Gunner's "The Light of the Women, " and Edward
J. McCoo's "Ethiopia at the Bar of Justice." This edition also
contains Richardson's introduction from the 1930 edition, not
included in later versions.
