Using a psychoanalytic approach, the author assesses the consequences of judging persons of color by an impure gaze that undermines their humanity and psychological health. '"Color struck" under the gaze' examines the characters in the plays of Georgia Douglas Johnson (1880-1966), Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960), Alice Childress (1916-1994), Lorraine Hansberry (1930-1965), and Adrienne Kennedy (1931- ).
