augustwilson-12	Whitaker, Mark	Celebrating August Wilson's Legacy in Smoketown	2019	8	.pdf	application/pdf	5863	298	76	Keywords August Wilson, Mark Whitaker, Smoketown, Pittsburgh Courier, Hill District I’m very honored to be here to address this colloquium, but I’m also a bit embarrassed. Beginning with the assertion that that Wilson’s family story fits the larger pattern of migrants from the northern part of the Old South who arrived in Pittsburgh with a respect for literacy and religious discipline, Whitaker contrasts the history of black Pittsburgh as reported in the pages of The Pittsburgh Courier with the metaphorical representations in Wilson's American Century Cycle.	cache/augustwilson-12.pdf	txt/augustwilson-12.txt
