Two Trains Running is the stage play that tells the story of the struggles and victories of African Americans in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Written by August Wilson as the seventh installment of a ten-part series called The Pittsburgh Cycle, the play is set in the historically black neighborhood of The Hill District, which was a prosperous black cultural center in the 1940s and 1950s that saw an extreme economic decline in the turbulent 1960s, largely due to the urban renewal efforts of Pittsburgh's redevelopment authorities. Two Trains Running is a portrait of urban unrest and the birth of the Black Power movement, particularly the parallel narrative of black women and the hyper-sexualized nature of the rhetoric of the movement.
