This paper examines the black women’s motherhood revealed in the circumstances from the colonial suppression and exploitation and their resistance to survive through Suzan-Lori Parks’ The Red Letter Plays. Because the Hesters in Fucking A and In the Blood cannot read and write but are only controlled and exploited by social ideologies, they do not have any solution to escape from their problems. These kinds of various suppression and exploitation from racism, poverty, lack of education and professional opportunity have taken black women’s innate motherhood away. Hester Smith in Fucking A is made or branded not to have any notion of motherhood. Her motherhood has been controled, learned and practiced to be absent. Parks draws the black woman's motherhood by making Hester kill her own son to save him in Fucking A. And she examines that the resistance to colonial power are continuing now. And this is to rewrite whole American black women's history and maybe the future story of black women who survive through the oppression as well.
