We can ask our celebrities and athletes!
I don’t know anymore. Those days of having Black celebrities and white celebrities propping up civil rights leaders I think is mostly gone.
I haven’t really seen a Belafonte, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Paul Newman, Sammie Davis Jr., Marlon Brando or Poitier who used their celebrity to make MLK and the Civil Right Movement hyper visible. They knew they weren’t educated enough nor an expert enough themselves but the least they could do, which they did, was donate tons of money. They also knew they were putting targets on their backs and running the risk of being black listed in Hollywood.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I just don’t see it from these modern/current celebrities.
