Male, African American, Late 20s-early 30s. BOY WILLIE's partner, he talks little, and then with a straightforwardness that is often disarming. Lives in Mississippi.

AVERY
Male, African American, Late 30s-early 40s. Honest and ambitious, he has taken to the city like a fish to water, finding in it opportunities for growth and advancement that did not exist for him in the rural South.
