This is part two of a seven-part series in which I feature guests who are all People of Color who performed in Hallelujah Hollywood!, Jubilee!, and/or Hello, Hollywood, Hello! between 1973-2016. Jakki Ford picks up from last week and shares her thoughts on joy and diversity. 

We chat about her introduction to the “Ebony line” in Hallelujah Hollywood!, and her feelings about the segregation and integration in later years. Also discussed are hit Broadway shows that are leaning into more diversity and the impact the arts and performers have in this world. Enjoy!
