In his opening address to attendees of the August Wilson Colloquium, Mark Whitaker—from his perspective as author of Smoketown—discusses the research he conducted and the subsequent incorporation of the topic of August Wilson into his book. Beginning with the assertion that that Wilson’s family story "fits the larger pattern of migrants from the northern part of the Old South who arrived in Pittsburgh with a respect for literacy and religious discipline," Whitaker contrasts the history of black Pittsburgh as reported in the pages of The Pittsburgh Courier with the metaphorical representations in Wilson's American Century Cycle.
在奥古斯特·威尔逊讨论会的开幕致辞中,马克·惠特克——从他作为《烟雾镇》作者的角度——讨论了他所进行的研究,以及随后将奥古斯特·威尔逊的主题纳入他的书中。首先,惠特克断言威尔逊的家庭故事“符合老南方北部移民的更大模式,他们带着对文化和宗教纪律的尊重来到匹兹堡”,惠特克将《匹兹堡信使》(the Pittsburgh Courier)中报道的匹兹堡黑人历史与威尔逊的《美国世纪循环》(American Century Cycle)中的隐喻性表现进行了对比。
