*I intentionally post these dead links to illustrate the situation relating to August Wilson scholarship on the Web. These links, while once active, are no longer available (and they are only a few of dozens of links that have gone inactive: "404: Page not found" in my time as a Wilson scholar).
This is why it is so important to archive the actual content relating to Mr. Wilson, as opposed to providing a list of links. Once again, I thank everyone for their generosity in helping to preserve the legacy of this great American playwright.
