August Wilson had a massive impact on Broadway with his play Fences, the story of a responsible, yet otherwise flawed, black garbage collector in pre-Civil Rights America. Deemed a “generational play,” it mirrors the classic struggle of status quo, tradition, and age, versus change, innovation, and youth. Fences is one of the most significant African American plays of the 20th century.
