Abstract
August Wilson, one of the most prominent figures in American theatre, explored the experiences of African- American community through his plays. He is best known for his series of ten plays which is collectively called The Pittsburgh Cycle/ Century Cycle/ Decade Cycle. In his works he dealt with the issues related particularly with black life like diaspora, dislocation, racism, slavery, segregation and in general with love, relationships, human predicament, spirituality, life and death. He used theatre very powerfully to present black life on stage and to raise voice of protest against subjugation of the blacks by the whites. He strongly believed that the black people as a community and their cultural heritage can thrive only if they remain connected to their origin, ancestry, history and the African spiritualism.
