Playwright August Wilson is being remembered as a giant of the American Theatre. Wilson died of liver cancer in Seattle yesterday at the age of 60. He moved to St. Paul in 1978 where he got his first paying job as a writer, composing educational scripts for the Science Museum of Minnesota. During his time in Minnesota Wilson began writing the set of plays that would make him famous. The ten-play cycle chronicled the black experience in America. In a 1991 speech to the University of Minnesota Alumni Association, Wilson fondly remembered the 12-years he lived in St. Paul.
