August Wilson site gets grant

NEW ORLEANS

Grants totaling $1.1 million will help support important African-American heritage sites including the homes of jazz musician John Coltrane and playwright August Wilson, a Virginia location central to the slave trade and civil-rights locations in Birmingham, a preservation group announced.

The money from the African-American Cultural Heritage Action Fund is part of an effort by the National Trust for Historic Preservation to preserve and promote African-American historic places.

The group and outside advisers narrowed down the 830 applicants from 42 states to 16 awardees.

Paul A. Ellis Jr. is executive director of the August Wilson House in Pittsburgh, which pays homage to the African-American playwright who wrote such works as “Fences.” Ellis, who’s also Wilson’s nephew, said the organization will match the $50,000 grant from the trust and use it to create a series of interpretive exhibits and interactive techniques that “tell the story of August Wilson and the community that served as the inspiration for his plays.”
