Forest Whitaker said : "It is not just the voice of women that matters, we have also included the voices of men in the conversation. Too often the epidemic of gender-based violence spreads because of the silence that surrounds it and because too many men are left out of the discussion, but men must be included in this discussion. The meeting today suggests that things are moving in the right direction,"

Forest Whitaker said ( about Malcolm X ) : “Bumpy Johnson was a poet, a devout Baptist, a strategist and a chess player,” “He had a great sense of family in regard to protecting his own family and a great sense of history. He was really interesting. I think one of the most interesting things about the series, though, is the type of relationship he had with Malcolm X. Many people aren’t fully aware of what type of relationship they had after meeting earlier in Malcolm’s Detroit Red days. Eventually, he and Malcolm entered into, not really a relationship, but mutual things happened to them”

Forest Whitaker : “Bumpy Johnson is someone who had been struggling since he was a kid when he left South Carolina. A phrase, which I coin a lot, this show is about the American dream by any means necessary. It’s the convergence of what you need to do to be a success in life in a capitalist society with the options that were available to individuals at that time. He actually wanted to be a lawyer”

It’s interesting to see what we’re doing with the show because it juxtaposes the opiate epidemic that’s happening right now, the racial divides that are happening right now, the profiling that’s happening right now. His issue about profiling was that they were over policing the black community and that’s why he held a sit-in. We get to see, through the lens of the 60s, what’s happening right now”
