"We are living under an administration that has an attack on diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, that's trying to erase critical race theory. But like (Samuel L. Jackson) said, they can't erase us because there is no country without us."
"All of us in some degree or another have spoken out, marched, protested, raised holy hell inspired by a man who now I'm sure resides with the good Lord in heaven. And even though we can no longer hear his voice, whenever we see that a wrong must be made right, all of us can ask ourselves WWJD' what would Jesse do?'"
Sterling K. Brown, a three-time Emmy Award-winning actor and Stanford graduate, received the Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series award at the NAACP Image Awards for his role in Paradise. During his acceptance speech, Brown criticized the current administration's attack on diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice initiatives, specifically referencing efforts to erase critical race theory. He emphasized that despite attempts to eliminate these programs, the nation cannot erase its Black population and history. Brown also honored the late civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson, reflecting on Jackson's profound impact on his life and inspiring others to ask themselves what Jesse Jackson would do when confronting injustice.
