My new play REPARATION is the winner of the E. Desmond Lee Playwriting Prize.

The award is given by the Missouri Historical Society and the Lee Endowed Professorship in African-American Studies at the Center for International Studies at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. The competition is open to plays that consider the African-American experience.

REPARATION was a Yale Drama Finalist in 2010. The play deals with the involvement of US banking in the slave trade, both yesterday and today.
