Carter does a good job presenting Harmond as an ambitious, yet principled candidate for office. He displays, both through his body language and Wilson’s metaphor-rich dialogue, the personal growth of his character over the course of the play.
– his delivery of the Act 2 monologue about mistaking progress in the fight for equal rights as the achievement of equal rights is excellent. Carter also shines in the scene in which Harmond rails against the injustice of a police officer who killed an innocent man getting a promotion and a bonus, an issue that is sadly familiar to this day.

It’s Brother Floyd (D Carter) who is a true scene and show stealer in this production. Innocent like a true child of God with all his own convictions, his hysterical approach to the character’s naiveté is one of the most hilarious in the whole show. He’s all riled up, anxious, antsy, and everyone has encountered this character type in their real life. The saying “every family/church/parish has one” comes immediately to mind. When Carter gets frantic and flustered, especially when trying to purport his innocence, there are some moment of true comic genius that really tickle the funny bone and warm the heart.
