The play features eleven vignettes that satirize elements of African-American culture. The premise puts us among passengers on an airplane which travels through time. The passengers visit different museum exhibits which display African-American culture and history from the early beginnings of slavery in America all the way up to fairly recent times. Each exhibit is a vignette, displaying a different event or lifestyle in different parts of the country and in different eras. The play premiered in 1986 and won its author the Dramatists Guild Award.
