SEVEN GUITARS by August Wilson

This is an exciting play about Negroes wanting to progress. They want more money and more self control. The Promised Land is to leave Pittsburgh and head for the big city, Chicago. There is a great deal of violence in this play. I can't help but think of black stereotypes. Men were always carrying guns and knives. Always at the ready to "cut" someone who "done" them wrong. What I like the most about this play is the mention of men who were working hard to change the lives of their fellow brothers. There is Muddy Water, Marcus Garvey, Touissant L'overture, Joe Louis, etc. August Wilson
