Today We Honor Beah Richards

Beulah Elizabeth Richardson, known professionally as Beah Richards, was a strong fiercely activist, poet, playwright, actress, author and powerful Black woman. She was as forceful and authentic in her portrayals as she was on the podium demanding justice and equal rights.

Richards received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Sidney Poitier’s mother in the 1967 film Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, as well as winning two Primetime Emmy Awards for her guest roles in the television series Frank’s Place in 1988 and The Practice in 2000. She also received a Tony Award nomination for her performance in the 1965 production of The Amen Corner.

In 1951 Beah wrote a sweeping poem that influenced the Civil Rights Movement.

“I speak not mockingly, but I fought for freedom, I’m fighting now for our unity. We are women all, and what wrongs you murders me and eventually marks your grave so we share a mutual death at the hand of tyranny.”

“I would that the poor among you could have seen through the scheme and joined hands with me, then, we being the majority, could long ago have rescued our wasted lives.”

Upon her passing, as a final protest, Beah Richards had her ashes spread across a Confederate cemetery. She refused to let white Hollywood – or white America – define her. She continued her fight for liberation even after her death!
