BLACK TEXAS PLAYWRIGHTS (Representative List)
Plays by African American Texans probe the complex dynamics of the African American family, entertain and enlighten children via the legacy of black folklore, and interrogate Texas history that is typically forgotten, ignored, or misrepresented. The earliest known play written by an African American Texan is The Smart Set (1896) by Sherman Dudley.
