Not a Genuine Black Man (Off-Broadway) Story

Written and performed by Brian Copeland, Not a Genuine Black Man tells the story of Copeland's African American family moving to one of the most exclusively white suburbs in America. Copeland, an actor, writer and radio personality in San Francisco, uses childhood memories which provide a first-hand account of segregation in suburban California. As an eight-year-old child, his family moved to San Leandro, an enclave that was 99.4% white and considered one of the country's most racist suburbs. He survived an embattled childhood, making for the aching heart of the play.
