African-American playwright, August Wilson, has been diagnosed with liver cancer. It is said that he has only weeks to live. As many of you know, he has written ten plays, including "Fences", "The Piano Lesson," "Miss Evers Boys," and many others. Each play dramatizes a different decade in Black life. (1900-1990). The last of the plays, "Radio Golf," is playing at the Taper Theatre in LA. Let us all send thoughts, prayers, energy to Mr. Wilson. He is a national treasure.
