Actress Viola Davis and her husband Julius Tennon, who are appearing together

in the new season of her hit show ‘How to Get Away with Murder’, have a joint mission to bring more diversity in Hollywood

Hollywood remains as white and male-dominated as ever, and

representation of race, gender, LGBT and disability has barely changed in the past 10 years, according to research by academics at the University of Southern California (USC). “The reason diversity is still an issue is that everyone is not ‘put to task’,” said Davis. (TOI)

The “Sorry” hitmaker posted an image of the Black Lives Matter logo and wrote: “I am a white Canadian and I will never know what it feels like to be an African American but what I do know is I am willing to stand up and use my voice to shine light on racism, because it’s a real thing and it’s more prevalent now than I have ever seen in my lifetime... We are all Gods children and we are all equal.” (IANS)
