Jackson’s piece focuses on the unfair treatment of Black thespians in Hollywood. Black actresses continue to be marginalized by mainstream media and award shows. To this day, Halle Berry is the only Black women to win an Academy Award for best actress. “And yet there is an increasing sense that is the Academy that is behind in the times,” Jackson writes in his piece.
“I feel a kinship with other Black women because we understand it the same. We have a knowing bout the struggle and about how hard its been for us,” Halle Berry says in the clip. “I know whatever they did, I know they worked really hard to get that opportunity,” Elise added.
