If we were to describe August Wilson’s legacy it would consists
of many different things and the main part of his legacy are the play’s that
he’s created there are 10 volumes that he’s written the names of the plays are
“Two Trains Running,” “Seven Guitars,” “King Hedley II,” “Gem of the Ocean,”
And his last play “Radio Golf.” Other things that will keep his legacy going
was the Broadway’s Virginia Theatre getting renamed as August Wilson Theatre.
He’s legacy has revealed some of the troubles that the African Americans have
gone through and the things that he has been through. His plays are
bibliography of his experiences that are in each play. Each play represents a
decade of the 20th century. You can’t understand the play if you
haven’t seen all of the plays because each play is connected to the play
before.
August Wilson moved from Pittsburgh to Seattle 15 years,
where he would later die from liver cancer. But before his death he had
finished writing his last play which was preformed 3 months after his death in
2005. He dropped out of high school in the 9th grade because he
didn't want to prove to the teacher that the paper he wrote was his. He’s
turned out pretty well even though he didn't finish high school. He and Romero
which was his 3rd wife moved to Seattle together and Romero is still continuing
Wilson’s legacy to this day to keep his legacy alive and well going.
I disagree with your post. It seems as though you tried to stay on the topic of August Wilson's legacy, but instead this post turned into a biography. You were on the right track with "His legacy revealed some of the troubles that the African Americans have gone through" but you could have gone more in depth and explored the true meaning of his playwrights.
