Since so much of the dialogue and conjecture about the men's struggles and motives were from his imagination of the incidents, fictionalized names were used.<br /><br />I thought the play did an excellent job of conveying that pivotal time in Birmingham politics and civic life. It was enlightening and informative as well as moving. I was left with a greater appreciation for Mr. Arrington, and for Mr. Vann. The play presented the humanity and the hope as well as the struggle within the political arena. So while "Mayor Todd" was intended to represent an actual mayor, it was not meant to represent an actual Mayor Todd.Charles Kinnairdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651225996573989932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7742879119843856939.post-91555814828774593892011-10-28T16:23:14.003-05:002011-10-28T16:23:14.003-05:00Mayor Todd?
