As Wilson's perfect work of art, Wall is a play in which the creator closer views the inconveniences of an African-American family who neglects to satisfy their fantasy of accomplishment and joy in spite of the steadiness and consistent endeavors of Troy Maxon, the leader of the family unit. Right off the bat in his sensational vocation Wilson composed ten plays which work as a "record of dark experience"; and every one of which speaks to multi-decade, for instance, Joe Turner's Traveled every which way: 1910s, Mama Rainey's Dark Base: 1920s, The Piano Exercise: 1930s, Seven Guitars: 1940s, Wall: 1950s.

Activity in the play is set in 1957.

"By fifties, blacks were not anymore a race of ex-slaves to be ousted to the edge of town, albeit white American would have favored them there. They were creeping nearer to the standard of American society". In spite of the fact that the whites loathed the section of blacks into the standard society, youthful blacks demonstrated an inclination to absorb into the general public which constantly wound up in the vexation of the whites. Patricia M Gantt in "Putting Dark Culture in front of an audience: August Wilson’s Pittsburgh Cycle" calls attention to the conditions common in the fifties in America. “By the 1950s, the setting of Wilson’s play, Fences, the colossal Relocation, had finished, leaving blacks in northern urban communities considerably busier adapting to the difficulties of ordinary living than their folks had trusted when they started the move out of the South.
