This forum is one of several venues regularly hosted by AWS to encourage informed discussions on the enduring relevance of Wilson's life and literary legacy. The AWS Ground series hosts a lineup of noted guest speakers who “ground” their talks in one of the multiple disciplines featured in Wilson’s work—art, activism, religion, music, African retentions, economics, gender dynamics, etc.—and who situate their lectures in the present moment.About the August Wilson SocietyThe August Wilson Society (AWS) is a 501(c)(3) organization and interdisciplinary learning community, founded by Dr. Sandra G. Shannon at Howard University in 2005, dedicated to promoting the study, teaching, performance, research, and safeguarding of the rich legacy that renowned playwright August Wilson has bequeathed to us in the form of his American Century Cycle: ten plays that chronicle the history, decade by decade, of African Americans in the twentieth century. In collaboration with the August Wilson Estate, August Wilson House, and the August Wilson African American Cultural Center, AWS organizes multiple programs and events—including its biennial colloquium—that introduce August Wilson to new generations of learners and oblige others who seek more intense engagement with his works.Join the family of Wilsonians across the country and beyond by making a donation or becoming a sustaining member of AWS: https://www.augustwilsonsociety.org/join-donate - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-york/august-wilsons-ground-2026/100001988913789685 - **Event Categories**: art, it, nonprofit, theatre, business, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: John A.
