The King Center honors the life and legacy of James Earl Jones, a trailblazing actor and advocate for equality, who passed away at the age of 93. Jones not only made history with his performances in The Great White Hope, a play that highlighted the racial struggles of its time but also used his voice to support the civil rights movement. His commitment to justice and equality was evident throughout his career, as he stood in solidarity with those fighting for freedom and dignity. Beyond his roles in Star Wars and The Lion King, James Earl Jones remained an outspoken advocate for civil rights, using his platform to uplift the voices of those demanding change. His powerful presence in the arts and his dedication to justice will continue to inspire generations. We honor his contributions to both the arts and the movement for civil rights. #JamesEarlJones #TheKingCenter #Equality #CivilRightsChampion #RestInPower
