Joe Turners Come and Gone

This play was an amazing play and the messages from in were phenomenal. I learned more about the struggles that were up North after the civil war. While growing up and learning about it in school, nobody really spoke on how that African Americans were still very much discrimination and racial tension up North. Everyone would just preach about how black men, women, and children were so eager to retreat to the north in look for some kind of safety and deal with less racism. However, racial discrimination is one of the things that was similar to the North and South. It may not have been as bad as it was down South, but African Americans still dealt with conflict.  Racial conflict showed up in Wilson’s play. There is still racial conflict in this world that we live in and we need to do our best to fight it to bring it down.
