A recent example occurred when long-neglected playwright Willis Richardson’s play “A Chip Woman’s Fortune” will, along with a number of other publications, fall into the public domain.

A year later, the Crisis awarded him its annual first prize in drama for “The Broken Banjo,” produced by the Krigwa Players.
