The Legacy of Halle Berry

In 2002 Halle Berry became the first and so far only woman of color to win the Best Actress Oscar. This video examines why it took so long and the legacy of Halle’s win as it relates to actresses today.

For more on this topic, I recommend reading Kelli Carter Jackson, Crystal Keels, Edward Mapp, Audrey McClusky, and Thomas Doherty – all of whom have work that was instrumental to this video.
