Florida Evans Tapestries
Main Tag:
Description: Portrayed by Esther Rolle, Florida Evans is the protagonist of Good Times, the 1974 spin-off of 1972's Maude, and the first sitcom featuring two black parents. Florida is the mother of J.J., Thelma, and Michael Evans, and wife of James Evans. As a stay-at-home mother, she's the glue that keeps the family together. With her stern, but loving disposition, Florida does her best to give her often unemployed husband emotional support and be a good mother and role model for their three children. Between the cooking, cleaning, laundry, and shopping, Florida often squeezed in a part-time job to help stretch the family dollar, and even returned to school to get her high school diploma.
