520 8  The African-American actors and actresses whose names have
       shone brightly on Broadway marquees earned their place in 
       history not only through hard work, perseverance, and 
       talent, but also because of the legacy left by those who 
       came before them. Like the doors of many professions, 
       those of the theater world were shut to minorities for 
       decades. While the Civil War may have freed the slaves, it
       was not until the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s that 
       the playing field began to level. In this remarkable book,
       theater producer and historian Stewart F. Lane uses words 
       and pictures to capture this tumultuous century and to 
       highlight the rocky road that black actors have travelled 
       to reach recognition on the Great White Way. 0.
