‘Lessons In Chemistry’ Star Aja Naomi King On Bringing The Reality Of The Civil Rights Movement To A Fictional Story & Her Feelings On Season 2
Aja Naomi King tailors her 'Lessons in Chemistry' role opposite Brie Larson to deliver a lesson on the civil rights movement.
In Lessons in Chemistry, Aja Naomi King is Harriet Sloane, a 1950s lawyer and mother who lives across the street from the protagonist Elizabeth Zott ( Brie Larson). But for the Apple TV+ series, creator Lee Eisenberg gave King a more powerful role, one that sees Harriet organizing a protest against a freeway that would force Black residents from their homes. DEADLINE: I love the scene where Harriet lets her guard down with Elizabeth by showing her how to pop the top off a beer bottle using the edge of the kitchen table.
