A
play set in 1904 about the early days of freedom for slaves. The story looks
at redemption for the killing of man from two different viewpoints - a
constable who is arrogant and believes killing is a viable form of justice
for crime; and a man who seeks redemption from a crime he committed that
resulted in the death of man which he feels responsible for. This is the
first play in a series of 10 by Wilson, that chronicles a decade by decade
historical account of the African-American experience. A great read about
redemption and the importance of cleansing of the soul that uses the past to
help the characters gain knowledge about themselves and their heritage.
