Description
The Ground on Which I Stand by August Wilson is a powerful call to action for African American artists. Delivered as the keynote address at Theatre Communications Group's 11th biennial conference in June 1996, this speech sparked a national debate about cultural diversity in the American theatre. Wilson urges his fellow artists to seize control of their own cultural identity and establish permanent institutions that celebrate and preserve African American dramatic art. This passionate plea culminated in a standing-room-only public debate at New York City's Town Hall, where the issue of cultural diversity was firmly on the agenda. This book is a testament to Wilson's eloquence and conviction, offering a unique insight into his vision for the future of American theatre.
