Richard Pryor was known for uncompromising examinations of racism and topical contemporary issues. He reached a broad audience with his trenchant observations and storytelling style. He is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential stand-up comedians of all time, in fact he was the first person to be given the prestigious presidential Mark Twain Award.
Marsha Warfield is best known for her role of Roz on Night Court. Before Night Court, she was a writer and performer on her own show and the Richard Pryor Show. She continues to use the power of her words to bring awareness to continuing issues of racism in America.
A beautiful moment in media history happened when a powerful media company chose to do something unprecedented that was very heartfelt. HBO used their media power to help the weakest people in our society, the homeless. ~ They gave a social voice and helped vulnerable people regain some dignity and respect. ~ Thank you!
With hearts full of love and many years of hard work, Whoopie Goldberg, Billy Crystal and Robin Williams hosted many fundraising events for the homeless. Much of what we are sharing with Comic Relief hasn’t been seen in 20 years and this is a great legacy to echo.
WORDS AND IDEAS CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!
About the project: Instead of “liking” Robin and all that he stood for, you are being invited to be Robin for someone else. Let’s echo an immense legacy and fill the world with MORE love.
Let’s rise to the occasion and show that all the love Robin has given to us mattered in imagining and creating a better world for us all.
