Porsha individually is not really known for her activism, though she is the granddaughter of prominent Civil Rights Leader, Hosea Williams, who closely with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
During a conversation with “What What Happens Live” host Andy Cohen, Williams shared her first experience with racism marching alongside her grandfather as a little girl.
Speaking about her grandfather’s legacy and what he would make of this current moment, Williams said:
“I think he would be saddened that the work that he had done and the work that [Martin Luther] King [Jr.] and John Lewis, the work that they had done, we’re basically close to be in that [same position],” she said.
This is going to take some dedication… So I do think that he would be happy that we’re coming together visually to see that but I do believe he would want us to take that mission just as serious as they did and the way they dedicated their life to it, I would think he would want us to do the same thing no matter what race you are.”
