Compare and contrast London, Memphis, and Nicodemus from the play, Flyin’ West.

London and Memphis are both cities, but London does not have Jim Crow laws. There is more equality between white and blacks in London than in Memphis. Memphis is a growing city, but lynching still occurs and black people do not feel safe. Nicodemus is the starkest contrast between all three places. It is a homestead life where farming communities must look out for each other. It is also an all-black community where black people feel there is more opportunity to work for themselves.
