Amazing.
Actor Jharrel Jerome made history last night with his Emmy win for playing Korey Wise in Ava DuVernay’s Netflix show “When They See Us.”
Jerome received the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for his work playing one of the so-called Exonerated Five, a group of Black and Latino teenagers who were wrongly convicted of raping a white woman jogging in New York City’s Central Park in 1989.
"It’s an honor, it’s a blessing, and I hope this is a step forward for Dominicans, for Latinos, for Afro-Latinos. It’s about time we are here,” Jerome said backstage later. Congrats, Jharrel!
