As Hollywood studios move forward with rolling back programs and practices that promote diversity, equity and inclusion, “Eyes on the Prize III” executive producer #DawnPorter signals that Americans are in living in an era that is reminiscent of the injustices communities fought against during the Civil Rights Rights Movement. “This is the devastating impact of all that is happening right now; we’re still in it. We’re in 1968 right now,” told TheWrap. “I think 2024 is closer to 1968 than it is to 1988. In 1988, racism was subtle. It was less visible. In 1968, it was very clear, ‘you may not sit here.’ And that is what we’re seeing in 2024 — ‘you may not participate here. You may not teach Black history.’ It’s very clear where our enemies are, and so that story is for the next generation to write.” 🔗 link in bio for more on this story.
