Michael B. Jordan delivered a passionate speech during a Los Angeles Black Lives Matter rally on Saturday, in which he urged Hollywood executives to “commit to black hiring.”
, announcing in 2018 that his company Outlier Society Productions would adopt inclusion riders for all upcoming projects. An inclusion rider refers to a clause in an actor’s contract that allows them to set the diversity requirements for a cast and crew before signing on to a production. The concept was introduced during Frances McDormand’s Best Actress Oscar speech the same year. But in his address, Jordan expressed his belief that “it has to go beyond that.
“Anybody that deals with me, if you have racist beliefs, if you have a racist bone in your body, if you’re not with me, if you don’t stand with me and people that look like me, you don’t need to be with me,” he added. “I use my power to demand diversity but it’s time that studios and agencies do so.
“What we are doing today will make our values heard and our voices heard. We’ve got to keep agitating things,” he said. “We can’t be complacent. We can’t let this moment just pass us by, we have to continue to put our foot on their necks.”, which chronicles the final days of Oscar Grant, an unarmed black man who was killed by an Oakland, Calif., police officer in 2009.
