View this post on Instagram"Thank you to the National Association for the advancement of colored people," the actor said on stage. "I spent a lot of time in predominantly white spaces. So it's always a joy to be in a room with us. We are living under an administration that has an attack on diversity, equity, inclusion, justice. That's trying to erase critical race theory. But like [Samuel L. Jackson] said, they can't erase this because there's no country without us." This is Brown's third NAACP Image Award. He thanked Disney and Hulu behind Paradise.

My best half doing her very, very best, Vanessa Bell Calloway with Prince Hakeem asking her to bark like dog, a big dog," he joked. The actor shouted out his mother, Aralean Brown, who was at home living with ALS.
