BET Awards 2016 : Jesse Williams

Rendu célèbre par son rôle dans la série Grey’s Anatomy, l’acteur et activiste a pris position pour le mouvement Black Livres Matter, mouvement lancé par trois Afro-Américaines après le meurtre en 2012 de Trayvon Martin par George Zimmerman. Ce n’est que deux ans plus tard, en 2014, que le mouvement a été pour ainsi dire popularisé à la faveur des protestations et révoltes de Ferguson (Missouri), consécutives au meurtre de Michael Brown. Puissant et émouvant, le discours tenu par Williams aurait sans nul doute été critiqué et qualifié de « communautariste » en France, et son auteur peut-être poursuivi pour « incitation à la haine raciale ».
