Charles Sidney Gilpin grew up here in Jackson
Ward. He apprenticed in the Richmond Planet
print shop before beginning his theater career
and becoming one of the most highly regarded
actors of the 1920s. Gilpin is best known for
his title role in Eugene O'Neill's Broadway play
Emperor Jones, for which he won the Drama League
Award and the Spingarn Medal, and was named
Crisis magazine Man of the Year (192). The Drama

done the most for American theater. Gilpin was
