520 |a First published in 1954, this three-act-play by James Baldwin looks at the role of a church in an African-American family and the effect of a poverty born of racial prejudice on an African-American community. Margaret Alexander, the pastor of a "corner church" in Harlem, begins to lose everything once her long-estranged (and now ailing) husband, Luke, returns for a visit. He reveals a truth that causes Margaret to lose not only her church, but also her son, David.
