He also brought up his role as fireman Guy Montag inand his powerful role as Bryan Stevenson inExplaining that each role affected his life, he added,"That's why I love and support everybody that's out here because we have to be here together, show the support.
"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 passionately expressed."I use my power to demand diversity but it's time that studios and agencies…do so."
Jordan continued by advocating for black content with black leaders sharing black stories."You committed to a 50/50 gender parity in 2020, where is the challenge to commit to black hiring?" he stated."Black content, led by black executives, black consultants… So let us bring our darkness to the light?"
"We're done with discrimination," he said as the crowd cheered. He concluded his message by expressing the importance of voting and not letting"this moment pass by."
