Winner of the 1996 OBIE Award for Best Play


A gripping examination of the conflicting realities of the Black experience of twentieth-century America.

A broken taillight leads to the brutal beating of a highly educated, middle-class black man by a policeman in suburban Virginia. The Kennedys interweave the trial of the victimized son (subsequently accused of assaulting the offending officer) with his mother's poignant letters of defense and remembrance.
