For everyone who asks anyone why we are so up in arms about our country but still just actors/writers, why dont we do more. Im not mad or calling anyone out, its just a different understanding. A friend once said, Politics does not work, religion is too eclectic but art…art just might be the parachute that saves us all. I believe this wholeheartedly. My collaborators Ms. DuVernay, Mr. Spielberg, Ms. Stroman, Mr. Fugard and Mr. Lee all call on me to be a conduit to give voice to ordinary humans doing extraordinary things. As I stood in the presence of the White House, embraced by our black President and the First Lady, surrounded by a small group of congressmen and our Selma company, I realized that we are inherently activists, through our medium as producers, actors, designers, editors, etc. I smiled at the portrait of Abraham Lincoln and knew that we still have a long road ahead. But we can. And we must. playbill/news/article/how-art-and-activism-lead-selma-and-scottsboro-boys-star-colman-domingo-to-the-white-house-in-ferguson-era-340057
