![]() ![]() Singleton: Not only did the Lehman’s participate in the business of slavery through buying and trading cotton, tobacco, and coffee, they were also enslavers. Oz: Did the Lehman’s own enslaved people?ĭr. The play in many ways is about a myth of slavery, which is that slavery is not responsible for the wealth of this country when it very much is so. And I think if it were about slavery, then we would have to really implicate the Lehman Brothers more so than them just showcasing a “rags to riches” stories. The play is not about slavery in the way that it should be. So, when asked if the play is about slavery, I believe the play cannot not be about slavery, because enslaved people are the financial backing of the Lehman Brothers. The play does not implicate the brothers as enslavers themselves. Slavery within this play is relegated to the background except in fleeting mentions of plantations, slave quarters, and overseers. The Lehman Trilogy sidesteps who built this wealth and how central slavery is to not only the wealth of the Lehman Brothers but also, to the development of the American economy. Yet, there are no enslaved people in the play. Cotton was an industry built off the compelled and free labor of the Black women, men, and children who lived and worked on those plantations. ![]() Although the Lehmans build their wealth from what they refer to as “Alabama Gold,” and what we know of as cotton, slavery is relegated to the background except in fleeting mentions of plantations, slave quarters, and overseers. Singleton: I think the play is about the erasure of slavery. Oz: How does slavery intersect with The Lehman Trilogy?ĭr.
