One thing I’m still side eyeing is the lack of diverse class in the S1 cast - they need to fix that for S2 #SNLUK

While it did not live up to my expectations (due to the heavy glossing over of a lot of issues that was played down via the family’s involvement) I Will say Colman Domingo did what he had to do and Jaafar Jackson resembles his uncle so well it was eerie at times to watch. #Michael

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.
