Future Black History Month: Jesse Williams' Powerful Leadership

FUSE TV - Future Black History Month: Jesse Williams' Powerful Leadership

Fuse is once again celebrating an extended Black History Month by highlighting a variety of rising forces who are creating Future Black History before our very eyes. Today we are honoring Jesse Williams, the Chicago native who has increasingly become a crucial voice in black activism. 

Prior to becoming an inspiring leader, Williams made us swoon with his Dr. Jackson Avery character on ABC's Grey's Anatomy. He's been a major cast member since '09, but has also appeared movies like 2008's The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (his film debut), 2012's The Cabin in the Woods and 2013's The Butler. But Williams proved to be way more than just an actor with a handsome face when he gradually began to express his opinions on politics and the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

The 35-year-old has a degree in African American Studies and Film and Media Arts, and uses what he's learned at Temple University along with his high school teaching background as a tool to share powerful messages. Over the past few years, Williams has made his voice known through articles for CNN and The Huffington Post while also acting as the youngest member on the The Advancement Project's board of directors, a nonprofit organization that focuses on race issues.
