August Wilson’s play, “Two Trains Running” is my favorite play by him. It is mostly a drama about self-determination and the ongoing freedom struggle for African American people.

Wilson’s play is set in Pittsburgh in the African American community in 1968. It is post-industrialization and suburbanization and the community is in economic decline.
