Fences represents the decade of the 1950s; and; when it premiered in 1985; it won the Pulitzer Prize. Set during the beginnings of the civil rights movement; it also concerns generational change and renewal; ending with a celebration of the life of its protagonist; even though it takes place at his funeral. Critics and scholars have lauded August Wilsons work for its universality and its ability; especially in Fences; to transcend racial barriers and this play helped to earn him the titles of "Americas greatest playwright" and "the African American Shakespeare."
