Oscars 2021 tonight (April 26) for playing Fred Hampton in Judas And The Black Messiah.Kaluuya held up the chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party as an example of how to help others. “What a man,” he said as he collected the trophy. “How blessed are we that we live in a lifetime where he existed?
Thank you for your light.“He was on this Earth for 21 years and he found a way to feed kids breakfast, educate kids, give free medical care.
Against all the odds, he showed me, he taught me – him, Huey P Newton, Bobby Seale, the Black Panther Party – they showed me how to love myself.
With that love, they overflowed it the Black community and other communities and they showed us the power of union, the power of unity.
