     summary: 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.

All these people came together and rallied to say, Let's not forget August Wilson.

At the 2018 August Wilson Society Colloquium held at the August Wilson Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Constanza Romero, August's widow and coordinator of the August Wilson Estate, said to the group that her preference, going forward, is that the phrase August Wil- son's American Century Cycle be used to refer to those ten plays.

     summary: At this writing, in July of 2020, with millions or Black men locked behind The Wall in America, we look to leaders like August Wilson to communicate this devastation, and we must hold up his work as a model to press for change. For seven years, he is compelled to complete back-breaking, mind-numbing, soul-crushing labor for a man who illegally rounds up Black men to fulfill his tasks.
