Before playwright Charles Gordone (1925???1995) became a Texan, he became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, for No Place to Be Somebody, in 1970. His search for a home in the West led him in 1987 to Texas A&M University, where he taught playwriting for the last nine years of his life, and to an influential role in the Cowboy Renaissance of the 1990s. Much as Mary Austin saw the West as a place without gender, Gordone regarded Texas as a place without race, where the need for neighborly connections outweighed discriminatory urges. Written by Gordone's younger sister, Shirley, A Place to Be Someone covers the years prior to this geographical and psychological journey, the childhood and youth that deeply informed Gordone's pilgrimage.
