Jurnee Smollett Bell covers the March issue of Ebony for Women’s History Month.  Inside the mag, the Underground actress confirms that colorism in Hollywood does exist.

Here is the actresses quote from inside of the mag:

“There are obstacles and challenges that my dark-skinned sisters face that I will never know. How they are perceived when they walk in a room of strangers is something I will never truly know. I would be ignorant to say colorism doesn’t exist, it’s gross and disgusting.” 

On the success of WGN’s Underground despite folks saying they have slavery faitgue,

“I think we had seen the occupation so much, we wanted to see the revolution and that is what Underground is,” says the actress who plays Rosalee.
