An Interview with August Wilson

During the interview with David Savran, August Wilson discusses African Americans and how they have come up short. However, he never puts a blame on anyone. He also talks about the society of today. Wilson is stating in the interview that we need to find a way to fix things for black people, and implying that it doesn't matter who's to blame for anything. He mostly speaks on how blacks don't really have a place in society but are mostly being institutionalized. He also talked about how we are products of our parents and that they give us tools to prepare us for the real world. That interested me, because it is very true, though some people don't think so. It also really interested me that he is all about making things better for blacks, instead of trying to blame things on people. He is much more interested in broadening the opportunities and horizons for blacks in society. The whole interview was very intriguing to me.
