Everyday Black Man is a 2010 film directed by Carmen Madden. It stars Henry Brown, C. Kelly Wright, Omari Hardwick and Tessa Thompson. It is a story about deception and a man's struggle to save his daughter.
This was the debut for Carmen Madden, and it picked up an award.[1] [2] Henry Brown's performance was noted as "Down to a T" in a review by The other view.
The film focuses on Moses, a local grocery store owner Moses played by Henry Brown.[3] Moses has a past. One that was violent and one that he walked away from. He is now a dedicated community man.[4] Moses has a daughter who has a daughter Claire (played by Tessa Thompson) who has no idea that he is her father and because of the past he has, he cannot tell her that he is her real father.[5] He has been turned down for a loan from a bank and then becomes duped by a seemingly good man into letting his shop being used to sell drugs. The film takes another direction with Moses just being an ordinary insignificant man turning into a man who needs to take things to another level.[6]
