Not a Genuine Black Man

PLAYING NOW!

Brian Copeland's first solo show, Not a Genuine Black Man, reveals a little-known chapter of Bay Area history.  In 1971, San Leandro was named one of the most racist suburbs in America.  Congressional hearings were held.  The next year, the then eight-year-old Brian Copeland and his African-American family moved to San Leandro.  In a monologue that's both funny and poignant, Brian explores how surroundings make us who we are.

Not a Genuine Black Man is the longest running one-man show in Bay Area history and has traveled to Los Angeles and Off-Broadway.  The performance is based on Brian Copeland's best-selling book, which was chosen as the 2009 selection for the Silicon Valley Reads program.
