August Wilson legacy

August Wilson is African-American playwright that wrote many plays about the life of the African-Americans over the centuries. His impact in the theater was incredible, for the first time someone decided to write a play about how African-American were considered and treated over the years. His goal was to not forget, and not let anyone forget, how African-American had to fight for their rights. The legacy that he left behind is still visible for us, the approach that now actors have of theater, especially African-American, is different from how was in the past, now they are interested in what they are acting, and how plays can really influence their own real life. August Wilson showed to the audience something that they never saw before, he showed them how African-American lives were in the past, he showed the American public how racism was, and sometimes still, a problem in the United States, how African-American did not have the possibility of be themselves because someone with a different race and more power would not let them. The message that he narrated in his play is continuous over the full cycle of plays, but to understand it we don’t need to see all of them, the message is clever in each one of them. A different kind of legacy that he left behind is visible in how much different cities are interested is remember his importance giving to different building his name and making sure that those are kept in good conditions. The Virginia’s Theater decided to change its name in August Wilson Theater to honor the playwright; the August Wilson Center for the Pittsburgh City School was trying to find a way to save the building that have his name to make it a place that really represent the importance that he had on the present life.
