Rebecca K. Crown Center Board

Presents

“The Good Negro”

by Tracey Scott Wilson

Directed by Chuck Smith

This gripping new play rips through the pages of history to uncover the human story
at the heart of the 1960s American Civil Rights Movement.  Tensions build in the
increasingly hostile South as a trio of emerging black leaders attempts to conquer
their individual demons amid death threats from the Ku Klux Klan and wire taps by
the FBI. Through personal and intimate stories inspired by the political upheavals of
the era, The Good Negro examines the human frailties behind the historic headlines.
