	Porgy Critique
		In Heyward's time, the only whites on the Neck were a few farmers and those who ran and worked at the fertilizer mills whose choking fumes wreathed the city when the wind was from the north.
		Heyward, we should note, enjoyed a small success as a "Gullah" poet, lecturer, and radio program hostess-and her fame only grew after her son's rise to national prominence, allowing her to charge up to $50 for a 90-minute lecture program at a time when a loaf of bread cost five cents.
		Heyward notes on the opening page that a man might become a beggar, "presumably because he was hungry," or another "of more energetic temperament" might become a stevedore.

	Du Bose Heyward (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Heyward [although white] knew well and appreciated the atmosphere in which Porgy was created.
		Heyward had started his literary career with short stories of Negro life in his native South, and when he finally gook up the story of "Porgy" he was already considered one of the finest writers on the Negro theme in the country.
		When he returned to the Negro theme it was again with a novel, "Mamba's Daughters." Immensely successful in its original form, the Heywards soon transformed "Mamba's Daughters" into a drama and it was equally successful on Broadway, starring Ethel Waters with Georgette Harvey the beloved Maria in "Porgy and Bess," as old Mamba.

		Heyward and the Gershwin brothers each lost their considerable investment in the production, and carping critics pecked away at an academic point: was Porgy and Bess a "true" opera, in the tradition of Carmen, or just a Broadway show, like Gershwin's earlier works?
