Words That Matter

jessewilliamsI rarely watch television. It took a friend in Norway, of all places, to alert me to Jesse Williams’ great speech this past June at the BET awards in Los Angeles. Hats off to Mr. Williams.  All that rubbing with celebs in tinseltown hasn’t dulled his edge.

Here, in case you also missed it, is the YouTube of his speech, followed by the transcript.  Williams is also active with QuestionBridge, a multimedia website on the Black male experience, and with the Advancement Project, a civil rights nonprofit.  He’s @iJesseWilliams on Twitter.
