The Theatre Journal Auto/Archive:Margaret B. Wilkerson Margaret B. Wilkerson (bio) Black women are a prism through which the searing rays of race, class and sex are first focused, then refracted. The creative among us transform these rays into a spectrum of brilliant colors, a rainbow that illuminates the experience of all humankind.1 These ideas have shaped the prism of my life: my identity as an African American woman; my passion for theatre as…

Parochialism and polemics, critics have claimed, render works based on Black experience unattractive and of limited or temporary appeal. Yet Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun, the first play by a Black woman to be produced on Broadway and to win the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award in 1959, has become American classic within a quarter of a century. A…
A Report on the Educational Status of Black Women during the un Decade of Women, 1976-85
By most statistical indicators, the educational gains made by black women during the past decade are rapidly being eroded: high school completion rates and college enrollment figures are declining, and dropout rates are increasing. The increase in black women earning bachelors and graduate degrees is due almost entirely to their higher participation rates in college. A higher proportion of blacks than whites are below 24 years of age; declining e…
Redefining Black Theatre

Black Theatre in California
For many years California has been considered a land of Canaan for black people. As one of the last frontiers in this country, the Golden State has been viewed as a place of unending sunshine, opportunity, and material fulfillment. The use of blacks in the Hollywood-based film centers was frequently viewed as opportunity rather than exploitation. It took the social turmoil of the 1960's to awaken many blacks in California to the fact that their p…
