Warriors don't cry is not simply a play about warriors. It takes a bigger perspective on the world. This play happens in a  time period that had different ethics than modern America. Life was not as fair, and equality was not valued as much back then. This play deals with the issues of race and the corruption of out historic society. In more detail, the play includes issues of segregation. In this play there are specific people who devote their lives to studying in law school, to fight this cause. African American people in this society dealt with extreme racism, especially in school. When the little rock school denies admission to black people, they sue which stirs up even more conflict. They won the lawsuit and black people were allowed in the school. Yet, this was far from winning; it was just the beginning. What is the point of being accepted into a school if other forces stop you from going? At this point, the laws were the least of their concerns. This law being passed evoked mass mobs to chase out the black people and caused lynchings. The president then gets involved and sends troops to help the school. This play is about the conflict surrounding this school between the blacks and whites, truly making an intriguing story.
