A 1975 stage play by Ntozake Shange, ''[[For colored girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf]]'' eventually went on to become one of the most acclaimed works of African-American literature. In 2010, the film version, with its title shortened to its first three words, was released. [[Tyler Perry]] wrote, directed and produced the film, which stars an [[All-Star Cast]] of prominent African-American women.
The play itself is called a "choreopoem," a collection of 20 poems starring seven different women, each referred to by a color. Each woman has a story to tell: from domestic violence, to abortion, and rape. In the end, the seven women come together for "a laying on of hands."
