Focusing on the often-overlooked 1940s and 1950s, this book explores how African American theatre served as a vital cultural front for the civil rights movement. It highlights a radical group of theatre artists who played significant roles in advocating for civil rights, both through their performances and activism. By examining the period between the Popular Front and the Black Arts Movement, the author sheds light on the intersection of art and social change during a pivotal time in American history.
