Like the doors of many professions, those of the theater world were shut to minorities for decades. While the Civil War may have freed the slaves, it was not until the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s that the playing field began to level. In this remarkable book, theater producer and historian Stewart F. Lane uses words and pictures to capture this tumultuous century and to highlight the rocky road that black actors have travelled to reach recognition on the Great White Way. 0. 650 0 $a African Americans in the performing arts $z New York $z New York $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African American theater $z New York $z New York $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a American drama $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 651 0 $a Broadway (New York, N.Y.) $x History. 648 7 $a 1900 - 1999 $2 fast 941 $a 5 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006084640.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150926024953.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20150624010736.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20150605024406.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20150502024135.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=95206E32F09111E4AF152ED3DAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b IODInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
