Robinson, Ph.D. Articles in this Topic Discussions in this Topic Nov 10, 2000 Ira Frederick Aldridge was born on July 25, 1807 in New York City. His father Daniel, who was a lay preacher and straw vendor, and his mother, Lurone, were free blacks. Ira's mother died in 1818, when he was a boy. Ira attended the African Free School where he won many oratory contests. After Ira's father remarried, he ran away from home. The audiences loved Aldridge's performances, however he received bad reviews from the press. In order to improve his acting skills, he toured the provinces, including Manchester, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Lancaster and Liverpool. For seven years, he starred in the plays, "Oroonoko," "The Slave," "Othello," "The Revenge," and "The Padlock."

Though found guilty of "criminal conversation" with Emma Stothard, he was required by the court to pay only a nominal penalty. Had William Stothard been a better husband, Aldridge could have suffered sterner consequences, but he had an able attorney who knew how to exploit to good effect the plaintiff's glaring faults of character and conduct.

Web Lecture #2 African Grove Theater Lesson Overview This online lecture will discuss the first African American theater company in the United States, the African Grove Theater. Free Blacks established the theater in New York City in 1821. Even though the company folded after only two years of play production, the theater was important because it provided an opportunity for African Americans to present plays that gave them dignity. The lecture will also discuss the arrival of African Americans in the United States and the lifestyles that determined their daily activities. Key Concepts Free Blacks in the United States Nineteenth Century Theater in the United States William Alexander Brown and "The Grove" Stephen Price and The Park Theater Ira Aldridge and The Black Doctor African American Presence in the United States Most African Americans arrived in the United States as enslaved people between 1619 and 1808. Many were transported to work on small farms and plantations in the South, however; many African Americans also earned their freedom and worked for small landowners or in the households of town dwellers. Between 1800 and 1810 the number of free Blacks in the United States doubled. By 1810, 75 percent of the African Americans who lived in the urban north were free. They were concentrated in the cities of New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. Free Blacks in the north generally worked as domestic servants or in subsistence farming. There were some who worked as skilled artisans in trades such as blacksmithing or carpentry. Some free blacks also worked on the docks and in the shipping industry loading and unloading boats. The two men who founded the African Grove Theater, William Alexander Brown and James Hewlett, were stewards who worked on ships. Through their work, they were able to travel back and forth between England, New York, and the Caribbean and to see theatrical productions.
