Colored People's Time

"Nothing less than a history of Black America from the eve of the Civil War to the Montgomery bus boycott a century later. Given the subject, one might expect a work roughly as long as Roots II, but Mr. Lee has found a more economical, not to mention easier, way out. The play consists of 13 tiny vignettes, each with different fictional characters, each set at a moment when momentous social change is in the wind. The hero is not a character but the Black spirit for survival its guts, humor and tenaciousness" ~ N.Y. Post

"A vivid composite picture of Negro life here over an important century. Mr. Lee is a fine writer" ~ New Yorker

"Leslie Lee means to educate and entertain.... His message is: History doesn't exist for those who don't take time out to study and listen to its steady ticks" ~ N.Y. Amsterdam News
