Books like Wedding Band: A Love/Hate Story in Black and White

Every work I read by Alice Childress begs the question: If you're not going to write about the big questions and the hard, ugly truths than why bother writing at all. This particular play takes place on the 10 year anniversary of a black woman and white man who, though in love, are forbidden to marry by law. Written in 1962, the script was considered so incendiary that it wasn't staged in NYC until a decade later. Some television stations refused to air the TV movie version that came out two years later. So yeah, she struck a nerve.
