and LeBron.
529
00:19:20,330 --> 00:19:23,170
[ Scattered hooting ]
Right?
530
00:19:23,170 --> 00:19:26,580
And someone
sitting in this room right now.
531
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:28,710
You should also know artists
532
00:19:28,710 --> 00:19:32,960
like Kehinde Wiley
and Kara Walker.
533
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,380
Black Lives Matter founders
534
00:19:35,380 --> 00:19:38,830
Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors,
and Opal Tometi.
535
00:19:38,830 --> 00:19:40,710
Dr. Ben Carson --
536
00:19:40,710 --> 00:19:42,580
but only for the surgery stuff.
537
00:19:42,580 --> 00:19:45,880
Cannot forget about
my man Lonnie Johnson,
538
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,120
who created the Super Soaker.
539
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:49,500
[ Laughter ]
540
00:19:49,500 --> 00:19:51,960
Journalist Ida B. Wells.
541
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,790
Or civil rights icon
Bayard Rustin.
542
00:19:55,790 --> 00:20:00,750
Or medical pioneer
Doctor McStuffins.
543
00:20:00,750 --> 00:20:03,040
[ Laughter ]
544
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,750
Dre: Black History Month
may be over on February 28th,
545
00:20:06,750 --> 00:20:09,290
but that doesn't mean
we have to stop celebrating
546
00:20:09,290 --> 00:20:11,750
the fullness
of Black achievement.
547
00:20:11,750 --> 00:20:14,620
We can celebrate it
every day of the year,
548
00:20:14,620 --> 00:20:17,120
and we still won't get to
all the people
549
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:19,750
who deserve to be included
in the conversation.
550
00:20:19,750 --> 00:20:21,500
But that doesn't mean
I'm going to stop trying.
551
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:29,210
Andre Johnson -- husband,
father, advertising visionary.
552
00:20:29,210 --> 00:20:32,120
Growing up in Compton,
Johnson knew he would one day
553
00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:34,330
climb to the heights
of the ad game.
554
00:20:34,330 --> 00:20:37,620
Along the way, married
a smoking-hot doctor wife
555
00:20:37,620 --> 00:20:39,170
and had five children,
556
00:20:39,170 --> 00:20:40,710
most of whom he likes.
557
00:20:40,710 --> 00:20:42,540
He's a true American hero
558
00:20:42,540 --> 00:20:46,420
and the owner of the dopest
shoe collection in Sherman Oaks.
559
00:20:46,420 --> 00:20:49,580
And that's a Black person
you should know.
560
00:20:49,580 --> 00:20:51,080
[ Sighs ] Is this the kind
of person we're doing now?
561
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,460
Just a dude with some shoes?
562
00:20:52,460 --> 00:20:53,710
Cut! [ Groans ]
563
00:20:53,710 --> 00:20:55,080
Stupid.
564
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,210
If you could, uh --
565
00:20:57,210 --> 00:20:59,790
If you could just read the
cue cards, that would be great.
566
00:20:59,790 --> 00:21:01,880
You know, we paid a lot
to fly you out here.
567
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,210
It just seems weird.
568
00:21:03,210 --> 00:21:04,790
I mean, of all the people
in the world to pick.
569
00:21:04,790 --> 00:21:06,420
Read the lines, Octavia.
570
00:21:06,420 --> 00:21:08,210
[ Both chuckle ]
571
00:21:08,210 --> 00:21:10,500
You know I have an Oscar,
right?
572
00:21:10,500 --> 00:21:11,960
So does Mo'Nique.
573
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,960
But she was unavailable.
574
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,040
We can roll.
575
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,120
Man: Sound speed!
576
00:21:16,120 --> 00:21:17,420
[ Chuckles ]
Rolling!
577
00:21:18,580 --> 00:21:20,460
Andre Johnson --
578
00:21:20,460 --> 00:21:23,830
husband, father, jackass.
579
00:21:23,830 --> 00:21:25,500
-Mom!
-Shh! Daddy's working!
