With full hearts and profound sorrow, we honor and salute the life and legacy of Michael Dinwiddie—playwright, professor, cultural emissary, and past president of the Black Theatre Network, who made his transition to be with the ancestors on July 4 at the age of 70. His absence is immense, as is the light he left behind. Michael was more than a scholar. He was a storyteller, a keeper of history, a community builder, and, for many of us, a beacon of global theatre light.
