Dutchman, which was written in 1964, arguably remains as Jones' most popular play. It has a single-act taking place on a subway between a middle-class black man and a white woman; their encounter gives us a glimpse into what Baraka felt was the conflict between the cultural values of self-dependent Black Americans and the white establishment's racist cultural ideals.

If you have any interest in viewing the 1966 film version of the play (in its entirety) then feel free to follow the link below.
