About This Book
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. Read more
