Jennifer Huynh - Diversity took center stage at Emmys

Summary: Diversity was the main focus and was celebrated at the sixty-nineth Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. Ranging from people of color to women, the night's biggest winners continued to strengthen the argument that was often made that "the small screen is more inclusive." TV's golden night was decidedly more colorful than many of the other award shows that have attracted criticism for a lack of diversity, and more appreciation was spread across categories that have not historically featured many winners who are people of color.
Analysis: This article written by CNN News shows the fact that society is becoming more aware of racial equality and appreciating racial diversity. As quoted by CNN News, "It was a inspiring moment in a country not far removed from a time when African Americans would yell for others to come watch when they saw themselves reflected on the screen." This adds on to the developement of racial discrimination awareness, something that people have fought for since, for example, the Civil Right Movement.
