This paper discusses August Wilson's play, Fences. It is An All-American tale of broken dreams and regret. Wilson's protagonist, Troy Maxson, is a former Negro League baseball standout who was born too early and was too old to ever have a shot at the Majors once Jackie Robinson broke the league's color barrier. As a result, his life has turned into one long, torturous "what if". Set in Pittsburgh in 1957, Fences is much more than one man's tale. Troy Maxson represents a generation of African-American men who were born on the cusp of opportunity, just a little too early to reap the full rewards of their forefathers' struggles.
