Fences tells the story of Troy Maxson, a sanitation worker and former Negro Leagues baseball star, who because of personal circumstances and racial discrimination, never gets a chance to play in the major leagues. The play earned Wilson the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and won James Earl Jones a Tony Award for Best Actor.
