From the Emmett Till-inspired character in Baldwin's \u003ci\u003eBlues for Mister Charlie\u003c\/i\u003e to Parks's recreation of Lincoln and Booth, these playwrights show that history is the mirror that shapes the identities of African American writers and characters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carlyle V.
