From the Emmett Till-inspired character in Baldwin's \u003ci\u003eBlues for Mister Charlie\u003c\/i\u003e to Parks's recreation of Lincoln and Booth, these playwrights show that history is the mirror that shapes the identities of African American writers and characters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3709066\"\u003eCarlyle V.
