Set in a Pittsburgh boardinghouse in 1911, the play examines African
Americans' search for their cultural identity, following the repression of
American slavery. For Herald Loomis, this search involves the physical
migration from the South to Pittsburgh in an attempt to find his wife.
Pittsburgh was one of the many urban areas in the North that other blacks
migrated to in the 1910s, in an effort to flee the discrimination they faced
in the South, while attempting to find financial success in the North.
Herald's search for his identity, represented as his song, is unsuccessful
until he has embraced the pain of both his own past and the past of his
ancestors, and moved on to self-sufficiency. This is a magnificent play.
