Brother/Mr August Wilson was So Well Versed and Eloquently, Consistently Held his Own. He was much more than a Poet, Playwright, He was and still is "A Wonderful Movement"😇😊
12:24 "That's not a word, I would use." "what word would you use?" "American theatre." Facts. I had to pause the video, holy shit.
I always enjoy August Wilson's precision in language and seriousness.
For the leadership, love, guidance, communication, we are so grateful. Thank you Mr. Wilson.
Thank you kindly for caring for our future Mr. Wilson.
We have alot to contribute. August Wilson
"These 65 theaters have no relationship with the Black community." The point.
I think it is important to remember Mr. Rose's roll in these talks. His job is to ask the questions that the opponents of his guest's ideas might ask and to move the conversation forward. He has a limited amount of time to do this (16 min in this case). Mr Wilson is a very deliberates speaker, who can expound upon the topic for a long time. Charlie knows he does not have a long time.
Mr Wilson must not have felt to put out because he appeared on the show four times, although only once after this interview.
Charlie is asking questions that white people are thinking? “If there isn’t a public demand for black arts then can blame the fact that there are “no” black theaters?”
And Mr. Wilson handles the questions very logically. And as a white guy I was trying to put myself in the mindset of what it would be like to be a black individual desiring such changes.
If I was a politician after seeing this interview as a white “conservative” type, I would be compelled to divert money to creating such playhouses. As we seemingly have money for everything else under the sun, and this seems like an important and very worthy cause to help Black America continue to promote their culture.
But without Charlie asking such questions, I would still have questions that need to be addressed before I would understand the rationale for such support.
And Mr. Wilson and Charlie won me over in less than 10 minutes to an issue I was totally unaware of.
What a great legacy he has left us.
Such a gift to be black
he's half white....
Goosebumps, legend!
Well said August!
20 century is the greatest American Ensemble Play.
I Thank Matoka, Irma and Izola for exposing me to Theater.
Charlie Rose was belittling, combative, distracting, and embodied the false notion of white supremacy during this interview. He knew he was in the presence of greatness and definitely tried to over talk and suppress August Wilson who handled it with exceptional grace!
My thoughts exactly.
I absolutely disagree. I believe Rose asked intelligent, challenging and well thought out questions. Which, I may add, a good journalist is supposed to do. I do agree Wilson handled all questions with superb intellectual acuity. I only detected respect from both men engaged in an intellectual debate.
yea no, charlie is asking these questions to understand wilsons point of view. not everything is about white supremacy smh
Hmmmm…. Explain false notion? Bc I had to re read your thought to maybe understand better

William Shakespeare is reincarnated as August Willson
Great playwright
Believe what have much reason
I used to like Charlie Rose..but after seeing this?...Didn't like the micro aggression he was coming with. For all he's supposed to be, Charlie clearly (even after August explained) has zero understanding nor does he want to of the glaring documented disparities for Black people in the theatre and otherwise.
If you watch his interviews with Julie Taymor, he's the exact same way to her, talking over her, diminishing her talent and accomplishments as a director, all because she's a woman. Unacceptable. Obviously a racist and misogynist beyond help, WHY does he still have a show🙄
I am not american, but I understand charlie rose’s intentions and I think from this interview I see why he is one of the best interviewers and journalists. I am not sufficiently tooled to express my opinion in a clear precise way as August Wilson does in this interview.

Yall get on charlie rose but he is genuinely trying to understand Mr wilson’s point from the perspective of his own peers .
I agree. Unfortunately, Rose is now viewed thru the prism of the me too scandal. That is important but does NOT capture the full measure of the man (Rose)
Charlie Rose with his antagonizing comments and questions. August Wilson was half heard and half seen in this interview because White Men always believed Black Men we were half of a Man!!

Why should the Government build separate theatres for Black tastes? Aren't we moving towards segregation again in that respect?
This guy looks like Chris Hansen
Or what I imagine his dad would look like

August Wilson is arguing for "segregated" places dedicated to and populated by blacks in which African-Americans can be celebrated and thrive, but we tried that in the early 20th century with different institutions, public schools, professional sports teams (remember separate but equal) and people didn't like it.
The problem is that when you found a country by Northwestern Europeans where that is the dominant population and culture, bring in 4 million African-Americans under slavery, THEN expect that unfortunately brutalized and formerly enslaved population to assimilate to the dominate culture.
Blacks probably could have assimilated into the culture, however their exterior physical appearance is just too much of a hurdle for themselves and for others in order for that to happen easily - and that is because of the sin nature, in general. People are not angels and are filled with all type of wickedness in order to gain favorable advantage for themselves, their family and then their friends, no matter what race they are. And because people in general, because of that natural enmity against God, reject spiritual truth, they are therefore consigned to live in that sin nature with their dead and unregenerated spirits ruled by hatreds, bitterness, jealousies, envy - a large part of that springboarding from racial differences, of course, as well as socio-economic differences.
Race isn't so much of a problem until you consider the implications of all people of different races living together, and the fact that humans get together for sex. Most people want children to look like themselves, white and black both want this- and most mixed race children end up living with inner turmoil not being accepted by either group, and therefore like Mr. Wilson, end up living out a lifelong neurotic catharsis attenuated by creative production which does I admit produce good plays, music, art, etc...
However, sadly, most intellectuals like Mr. Wilson and Mr. Rose pooh-pooh and scorn the truth of the Gospel that would really effectively change the spirits within both white and black - allowing them to live in harmony, not even considering the outcome of interbreeding, but they, like most of the world, opt instead for their morally bankrupt, but oh so smart secular humanist intellectualism that doesn't change anything, but actually just perpetuates the cycle of grief, suffering, war, etc. - just look what Charlie Rose got caught up in. When you reject God and that Biblical truth, you become a slave to sin - no matter whether that sin is racism, no matter how well hidden in the human heart, or evil predatory sexual lust.
Wrong he clearly is talking about a theater that does black art in particular, but Not segregating ppl. Ppl of all races can go to see the plays just because it specializes in a subject does not mean it's segregated
@@4thHogage I think that's a great idea. all except the part where the Government should pay for it.
This has got to be the most stupidest, incoherent post I've ever heard on here.
