QR code
"Rachel: A Play in Three Acts" by Angelina Weld Grimké is a play written in 1916. Created as the first theatrical work for race propaganda by the NAACP, it follows a young Black woman whose deep love for children collides with the brutal realities of American racism. When Rachel discovers her father and brother were lynched, and witnesses the suffering of Black children around her, she faces an impossible choice between motherhood
and protecting future generations from injustice. Set in a domestic world, this groundbreaking drama brought dignified portrayals of Black family life to integrated American audiences. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
