Michael B. Jordan wants Hollywood to walk the walk.
The protest was organized by talent agencies CAA, UTA, WME and ICM Partners. In addition, he asked if the entertainment industry was willing to help those"working to solve" the problems they"created."
"You committed to a 50/50 gender parity in 2020," he said."Where is the challenge to commit to black hiring? Black content led by black executives, black consultants. Are you policing our storytelling as well?""Let us bring our darkness to the light," Jordan added."Black culture: the sneakers, sports, comedic culture that you guys love so much. We've dealt with discrimination at every turn.
While stressing the need for people to get out and vote, the"Fruitvale Station" actor said the simple act"has never been more important than it is today."
