Around this production

It was conceived for his wife, Sally Ann Howes; at a party, Adler had discussed African nationalism with Adlai Stevenson, then ambassador to the United Nations, and then told television writer Robert Allan Aurthur of his conversation: Kwamina would be Aurthur's first and only musical book.
