Lee Hunkins Biography (1930-)

"As a Black woman writer, I think it's important for me to write plays inwhich my characters can be used as role models for the black children of today. We have no heroes, no Wonder Woman...no Superman...no presidents or kings, Well, our heroes exist, and it is my hope to help bring the heroes out of the shadows and into the light."
