About American Negro Theater

The American Negro Theatre (ANT) was co-founded on June 5, 1940, by playwright Abram Hill, actor Austin Briggs-Hall Sr., and actor Frederick O'Neal. Determined to build a "people's theatre", they were inspired by the Federal Theatre Project's Negro Unit in Harlem and by W. E. B. Du Bois' "four fundamental principles" of Black drama: that it should be by, about, for, and near African Americans.
