Brian Copeland in Not a Genuine Black Man
Not a Genuine Black Man
Performed by Brian Copeland, an award-winning actor, comedian, author, playwright, and television and radio talk show host, whose show became “the longest-running solo show in San Francisco history,” primarily on the stage of The Marsh.
A STORY BRIAN HAD TO TELL
“In 1972, the National Committee Against Discrimination in Housing called San Leandro, CA. “a racist bastion of white supremacy”. It was considered one of the most racist suburbs in America. CBS News and Newsweek covered the story. The US Commission on Civil Rights conducted hearings. And then, we moved to town.”
CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED
“A beautiful mix of wry humor and heartbreak, indignation and inspiration, a singular story of extreme isolation that speaks to anyone who’s ever felt out of place.” — San Francisco Chronicle
