Sam sits in the Fresh Air host chair to talk to actor John Boyega.
Since finishing his star-making role in the Star Wars franchise in
2019 and after the protests that followed the murder of George
Floyd last year, Boyega has been outspoken about his treatment as a
Black actor in Hollywood, and in the Star Wars franchise itself. He
talked to Sam about why he was ready to talk about the "elephant in
the room" that is racism in Hollywood and what he's doing to change
things.
