August Wilson (Fredrick August Kittel, Jr.) leaves a rich literacy legacy of ten plays. He was a Pulitzer Prize winning playwright. Earlier this week, I visited the museum that bears his name. This center's mission, "
August Wilson Center for African American Culture engages regional and national audiences in its mission of preserving, presenting, interpreting, celebrating, and shaping the art, culture, and history of African Americans utilizing the rich history, legacy and culture of African Americans from Western Pennsylvania as a foundation. "

August Wilson father was a Sudeten German immigrant
his mother was from Alabama.

A new exhibit at the museum opened March 30 and will continue until June 30.
Strength in the Struggle: Civil Rights. I love this truth, we do not grow strong by easy lives, but enduring and learning from the struggles. The lessons learned in fiery trials shape our character. As my pastor often says, "God is more concerned with our character than our comfort." I agree!
