LeRoi Jones

Short play, Drama

2 m., 1 f., extras.

Subway car int.

This is the first of Jones' successes, and the cause of his critical acclaim. A lascivious blond tries every vulgar way she knows to pick up and seduce a decent black youth in a subway car. Failing, she resorts to humiliating him. This breaks the facade of his decency, as he descends to her level for a spitfire fight and decrees that murder of the whites by the blacks "would make us all sane." She stabs him and, as other whites dispose of his body, primps for her next Black victim. Published with The Slave .
