Denzel Washington NAACP Image Awards 2017 Speech [ FULL VIDEO ]

 

Just in these two minutes, THIS THE MOST I EVER BEEN INSPIRED! THANK YOU DENZEL! . . . “I am particularly proud and happy about the young FILMMAKERS, ACTORS, singers, WRITERS, PRODUCERS that are coming up behind my generation, in particular Barry Jenkins @bandrybarry, “Young people understand, this young man made 10, 15, 20 short films before he got the opportunity to make #Moonlight so never give up." . . "Without commitment you'll never start, but more importantly without consistency you'll never finish." . "It's not easy. If it were easy, there'd be no Kerry Washington @kerrywashington. If it were easy, there'd be no Taraji Henson @tarajiphenson. If it were easy, there'd be no Octavia Spencer @therealoctaviaspencer. But not only that, if it were easy, there'd be no Viola Davis @violadavis. If it were easy, there'd be no Mykelti T. Williamson @mykeltiwmson. No Stephen McKinley Henderson @stephenmckinleyhenderson. No Russell Hornsby #RussellHornsby. If it were easy, there'd be no Denzel Washington #DenzelWashington. . . So, keep working. Keep striving. Never give up. Fall down seven times, get up eight. Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship. So, keep moving, keep growing, keep learning. See you at work." . If it were easy, there'd be no ERIK MCKAY #stoRAGE . #NAACPIMAGEAWARDS #TVONE #BLACKSTARPOWER #REALACTORSHIT #REELACTORSHIT #NYACTORSHIT #GRINDinSILENCE #KEEPGRINDING #IgotNOWforgetNEXT #erikmckaycom
