Ten satirical sketches penned by George C. Wolfe blend drama, comedy and music to probe black stereotypes and stress the importance of African‑American cultural preservation through recalling a painful yet glorious heritage. Framed as museum “exhibitions,” the pieces explore the pressure to renounce history and contain anger in the pursuit of assimilation.
