What I liked

I liked the arrows they were constantly shooting at each other and at the same time never forgetting what their real job in this world is.

What I didn't like

King did an excellent job but of course noone can ever match Harry’s charisma.

My overall impression

Having seen the 2011 documentary “Sing Your Song” on Harry Belafonte’s Civil Rights Tribute I could not miss Greenwood 1964 for the world and Ojarigi’s perspective offered another witty insight into the attic in Greenwood where Poitier and Belafonte were fighting their inner batlles in 1964 while preparing the ground for generations to come. A must see performance! There were moments were I could actually see Harry and Sidney taking over from their younger counterparts Thomas Ramseur King and Eli Goree whose diction made me see Poitier vividly in front of me on the stage shadowacting his part.
