, recommended other movies to watch about racial injustice that could be more educational than “The Help.”
“‘The Help’ is a fictional story told through the perspective of a white character and was created by predominantly white storytellers,”Howard, who portrayed one of the racist villains in the movie, suggested audiences check out films and television shows that better tell the stories of Black lives by other Black creators, storytellers and performers.
