This looks like an interesting new play that speaks to additional element in the discussion of race consciousness: Yellowman, at Trinity Rep in Providence. It explores the issues of skin tone within the African American community.
From the review: “…the pernicious reality of prejudice is felt not just from the white community, but from within the black community as well. They face a constant, double-edged battle for acceptance amid hostility from their families and friends.”
The review is very complimentary to the young actors, Rachel Christopher and Joe Wilson, Jr.
