The Good Negro May 22, 2010

Goodman 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.
