The actor behind Riri Williams spoke a famous line Boseman referenced in his 2019 SAG award acceptance speech.
’s Riri Williams was certainly caught off guard when Letitia Wright’s Shuri showed up on her doorstep at MIT. The Wakandan princess needed answers about one of Riri’s inventions, and she ultimately came away impressed by another young woman who possesses the same genius-level intellect.
In the process, Williams said the line “to be young, gifted and Black,” which is a phrase that has quite a legacy, especially during the Civil Rights Movement. The saying originated with 1959’s, an autobiographical play about the late playwright Lorraine Hansberry, and a decade later, Nina Simone named her anthemic song after the play in order to honor her friend.
