Race

What a topic. Intense. No obvious answers. Some obvious wrong-doings, and some misinterpretations.  These were well-handled in this short play (only one hour and forty minutes). 
I thought Spader and Grier acted well.  Washington and Thomas each had some mis-steps and sometimes awkward performances.
This is a great play to discuss/debate with someone.  I pondered the issues it raised - and others - on the walk back to my apartment. For now, however, I'm thinking "Goodnight, John-Boy."  (I wonder if he hates never living that down?  He's now 57 years old! Wow.  Many years away from Walton's Mountain...for all of us.)
