And if one was determined to translate August Wilson, why not start with one of his Pulitzer winners, “Fences” or “The Piano Lesson?”

Even before those, there’s “Why Mobile?” That one, at least, is easy. After the wreckage of the slave ship Clotilda was confirmed found near Mobile in 2019, one of the many people drawn to the story of the Africatown community was Terrence Spivey. - Lawrence Specker, AL.com
