Most Dangerous Man in America (W.E.B Du Bois) is a dramatic reflection of one of the most traumatic events in the terrible period of McCarthyism.

W.E.B DuBois, a co-founder of the NAACP, a scholar and political activist, known and recognized throughout the world, was indicted in 1951 by the US federal government at the age of 82 as "an agent of a foreign power." In the play, the focus moves back and forth between the Harlem community and their opinions, the witnesses' testimony and the courtroom battles.

Written by Amiri Baraka 
Directed by Woodie King, Jr.
