Why would I wa t to read a book about a black girl written by a white man? Honestly?

A shame that this is out of print and somewhat difficult to track down. It's the most prescient - wokest- play I've ever read. I would love to see this performed by a modern cast (with some problematic language toward the end cleaned up). It is a black female "Candide" - very impressive for being written in the early 1930s.

- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
