Wendell Pierce was rejected from getting an apartment in Harlem after filming "Superman" and starring in various TV series, including "Elsbeth."

Even with my proof of employment, bank statements and real estate holdings, a white apartment owner DENIED my application to rent the apartment…..in Harlem, of all places.” The day after Pierce told his story about being rejected for an apartment, he shared a story from The Wall Street Journal on social media that covered an appeals court blocking an Atlanta-based investment firm from running a grant program for Black women.
