The play is a timeless play. The Colored Museum was written in 1985 during the post-Vietnam War era. The beginning takes place on an airplane which is ever so exactly traveling through time. The airplane visits different museum exhibits, each which displays African-American culture and history from the time they were brought to America as slaves all the way through nearly recent times. Each exhibit displays a different event or lifestyle in different parts of the country in different eras.
The Colored Museum examines the honor and desire of African-American people to escape centuries of suffering that have been a continuous source of baggage.
