Joseph A. Walker’s towering dramatic masterpiece 'The River Niger' exploded onto the Broadway stage at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre in 1973, running for an astonishing 280 performances and winning the Tony Award for Best Play under the auspices of the Negro Ensemble Company. The textually rich naturalistic tragedy unfolds entirely inside a cramped Harlem brownstone apartment flat corridor cockpit, tracking the proud Williams family dynasty navigating civil rights. This frames an original production photograph.
