August Wilson

August Wilson, born Frederick August Kittel Jr., was an American playwright who lived from 1945 to 2005, called the theater's poet of Black America. He is best known for The Pittsburgh Cycle, a series of ten plays chronicling the experiences of the African American community across the twentieth century; plays in the cycle including Fences and The Piano Lesson each won him the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and his work has since been adapted into a series of films.
