  1. American Negro Theater

    The American Negro Theater ANT was formed in Harlem on June 5, 1940 by writer Abram Hill and actor Frederick O Neal . It produced 19 plays before closing in 1949. Designed as a community theater group, performances were held in Harlem s Schomburg Library . In 1942, ANT began its Studio Theatre training program for beginning actors. Graduates include Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte . Its most successful production, Anna Lucasta play Anna Lucasta , fundamentally transformed the ANT. A white author, Phillip Yordan , wrote the play about a Polish family, but could not find a company to perform it. So he rewrote it to feature a black family. It was performed by the ANT in 1944. Five weeks later the play opened on Broadway theatre Broadway . The ANT received few royalties and the next three ANT plays to appear on Broadway were not successful. Despite this, following the success of Anna Lucasta the ANT became less community centered. From then on, the ANT only featured plays from established white playwrights, and young actors viewed the ANT as a means to break into Broadway productions.

  1. Time on the Cross: The Economics of American Negro Slavery

    Time on the Cross The Economics of American Negro Slavery is a book authored by Robert William Fogel and Stanley L. Engerman Content Time on the Cross directly challenged the long held conclusions that American slavery was unprofitable, a moribund institution, inefficient, and extremely harsh for typical slave. Instead, the authors propose that slavery before the Civil War was economically efficient, especially in the case of the South, which grew crops such as cotton , sugar , and coffee . These types of crops were usually grown on plantations that employed gang system of labor that was monitored and thus more efficient. Fogel wrote that small farms were just as productive as free farms and that it was only large plantation style slave farms 16 slaves were the most efficient, having a Total Factor Productivity ratio A sub i sub A sub j sub to be around 1.33. Fogel also wrote that if slaves had a day of rest, they tended to be more efficient because of the extra day of rest. They would be able to regain their energy and thus have more energy to produce more. In addition, since different crops were grown in the South and the North, it was noted that although slavery was efficient in the South, it wouldn t have been in the North due to different weather conditions. The authors predicted that if slavery had not been abolished, the price of slaves would have continued to rise rapidly in the late 19th century as more cotton lands were put into production.
