Lights, camera, activism: Fighting discrimination in the entertainment industry
From movies to TV shows, music, and comedy, there's no aspect of the entertainment industry that COVID-19 and the Black Lives Matter movement haven't impacted. It's not a stretch to say that the industry will never be the same, but many are facing the challenges posed during these difficult times and working to change it for the better. White actors are stepping down from playing characters of other races, Broadway stars are bringing joy back to the streets of New York, and networks like Freeform are casting people like Kayla Cromer, who has autism, for new and exciting roles, and so much more.
