The article Saunders, Skyler. "Unlocked Minds: August Wilson’s Suspects, Ex-Cons, or 
Soon-to-Be Convicted Characters in his American Century Cycle." August Wilson 
Journal [Online], 2 (2020): https://doi.org.10.5195/awj.2020.55 contained several errors in the 
original publication. The original version has been updated to reflect the following changes: 

 
On page 1, the following sentence has been removed: “Black Lives Matter Foundation, Inc is a 
global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white 
supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by 
the state and vigilantes.” The Black Lives Matter group is not about individual rights but is run 
by Marxists. The error was introduced by the editors. 
 
On page 3, the following section has been removed: “As of this writing, Blacks make up about 
2.3 million of the 6.8 million or about 34% of incarcerated individuals, according to the 
NAACP. Former president of this organization Benjamin Jealous said, “Our country has five 
percent of the world's people and 25 percent of the world's prisoners. Now, you can flip that a 
different way, a Black person today in this country is more likely to be incarcerated than a 
Black person in South Africa at the height of apartheid” (NAACP)”. There are in fact not 6.8 
million incarcerated people in the US. There are actually 2.3 million people behind bars. The 
error was introduced by the author.
