Illustrated by James Lesesne Wells. 373 pages. 8vo. This anthology of plays written by African American playwrights from the late 1800s onward is a landmark anthology of African American drama compiled and edited by Harlem Renaissance playwright Willis Richardson.

His works emphasized racial pride dignity and the richness of Black history helping to lay the foundation for later generations of Black playwrights. In the introduction Richardson gives credit for historical correctness of the facts to Dr. Carter G. Woodson. This compilation was created in order to praise the history and works of African American writers and inspire other African Americans to learn about their heritage and celebrate their culture. It features a selection of plays and pageants written by Richardson and other notable Black playwrights including Thelma Myrtle Duncan Maud Cuney-Hare and John Matheus May Miller Willis Richardson Inez M. Burke Dorothy C. Guinn Frances Gunn and Edward J. McCoo. These works explore themes of racial identity historical struggle and the resilience of African American communities. The book's striking cover is illustrated by James Lesesne Wells a renowned Harlem Renaissance printmaker known for his bold modernist style that captured African American life and heritage. Wells' design reflects the spirit of the era aligning with the movement's goal of celebrating Black artistry and cultural expression. The plates are also signed with Wells printed initials.
