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.
