Most Dangerous Man in America

L-R: Petronia Paley, Art McFarland, Michael Basile, Marie Guinier

The Most Dangerous Man in America (W.E.B. Du Bois) is a dramatic reflection of one of the most traumatic events in the terrible period of McCarthyism. W.E.B. Du Bois, cofounder of the NAACP and a scholar and political activist known and recognized throughout the world, was indicted in 1951 by the U.S. federal government at the age of 82 as “an agent of a foreign power.” Throughout the play, the focus moves back and forth between the Harlem community and their opinions, and the witnesses’ testimony and the courtroom battles.

 

Presented as part of the 2014-15 Season

Play opened April 27, 2015 at the Castillo Theatre
