             At first it was difficult for Wilson to find his own style of writeing because he was heavily influenced by other styles but after he was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement in 1968 Wilson co founded Black Horizon on the Hill ( which was a community theather aimed at raising black conpicousness in the area) The play house became the forum of his first drama in which he developed his own style and voice. Wilsons first professional break through occurred in 1978 in St Paul Minnesota it was then when he recognized poetic qualities in the language of his hometown and through this he generated some of his best play writes such as "Ma Rainey Black Bottom" (drama) 1984, " Fences" (drama) 1985, "Joe Tuners Come and Gone" (drama) 1986,
             "The Piano Lesson" (drama) 1987, "Two Trains Running (drama) 1990, and many more.
