🙏🏾✨Repost from @itsjasonflom • “After I became president, I asked my escort to go to a restaurant for lunch. We sat down and each of us asked what we wanted. On the front table, there was a man waiting to be served. When he was served, I said to one of my soldiers: go and ask that gentleman to join us. The soldier went and conveyed my invitation to him. The man got up, took his plate and sat down right next to me. While he ate his hands trembled constantly and he did not lift his head from his food. When we finished, he said goodbye without looking at me, I shook his hand and he left. The soldier told me: Madiba that man must have been very ill, seeing as his hands didn’t stop shaking while he ate.- Absolutely no! the reason for his trembling is another. Then I told him: That man was the warden of the prison where I stayed. After he tortured me, I screamed and cried asking for some water and he came humiliated me, laughed at me and instead of giving me water, he urinated in my head. He is not sick, he was afraid that I, now president of South Africa, would send him to prison and do to him what he did to me. But I’m not like that, this conduct is not part of my character, nor of my ethics. ′′Minds that seek revenge destroy states, while those that seek reconciliation build nations. Walking out the door to my freedom, I knew that if I didn’t leave all the anger, hatred and resentment behind me, I would still be a prisoner.” ✨ This is So far from too many of the “leaders” in seats of power these days. (Or vying for that power.) It’s time for more honorable leadership from within and along side and not over. . Thank you groovyblakk for this shared wisdom and the love and light you are in the world.

Had a great time yesterday at the TCAs talking about our new PBS show “The Express Way with Dulé Hill”, a four part docu-series that travels across the country with me to celebrate the transformative power of the arts. There are so many dynamic and powerful artists in this nation who are using their gifts to give voice to their communities and create positive change. I hope you will join me on this inspiring journey when it premieres on @PBS Apr 23! I look forward to sharing more about #ExpressWayPBS with you soon! Art Is Powerful.

Hinton. When the curtain first went up on my performing arts journey, I just wanted to be you. Before Harold and before Gregory, for me…there was you. To sing like you, to kick like you, to leap and make these magnificent pictures in the air like you, that was it. Uncle Dipsey was the bar. And since the age of 10 until now, you have always been an inspiration and an artistic beacon to me. We have lost so many talented artists and beautiful souls over these last few months. Ron Cephas Jones, Andre Braugher, Maurice Hines, Chita Rivera, Carl Weathers; the list goes on. But I could not let this moment in time pass without acknowledging the bright and shining light that is you. Thank you for sharing your brilliance, artistry and your life with us Hinton. From the Broadway stage to the great beyond you have made a phenomenal impact and inspired a generation of artists. My only regret is that after all of these years, I never got the chance to “trash”you back. Love you forevermore Uncle Dipsey. Rest in peace and dance in the heavens. #HintonBattle 🙏🏾💔☀️
I truly appreciate this nomination @naacpimageawards. @WonderYearsABC was a show that was near and dear to my heart. Much love to @SaladinPatterson for creating these wonderful characters and nostalgic world. The opportunity to share this story on screen over these past 2 seasons will be a moment in time that I will always be grateful for. Be Cool. #NAACPImageAwards #ImageAwards
