John Ridley Warns How DEI Decline Will Harm Hollywood Diversity Gains – Guest Column


As somebody who loves history the decline of DEI is not surprising to me, but this is about the future. John Ridley writes in a Deadline guest column.

Editors note: John Ridley is the Oscar-winning 12 Years a Slave writer, writer-director of Five Days at Memorial, and the Eisner-nominated writer of the DC graphic novel series GCPD: The Blue Wall.He also hosts with Matt Carey the Deadline podcast Doc Talk, and occasionally contributes guest columns. It’s Hollywood that helped give national prominence to our current person in the Oval Office (closest I can come to saying it). The Corrupt Bargain of 1877 basically shut down the franchisement of Southern Blacks by pulling the plug on Reconstruction barely 12 years after the end of the Civil War.
