    Alice Childress (who, in four decades as playwright, novelist, actor, and director, challenged racism with engrossing stories and memorable characters. When a New York producer demanded revisions to soften the impact of “Trouble in Mind,” Childress withdrew the script. Sixty-five years later, the Drama Desk celebrates the long-delayed Broadway premiere of this timeless masterpiece and salutes Childress as a towering figure in contemporary theater history.)
