This speech got me in tears "The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity."
After Viola Davis made history on Sunday night at the Emmys by becoming the first black woman to win Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series and gave an empowering speech about the lack of opportunities for women of color, one soap star took to Twitter to criticize.
“General Hospital” actress Nancy Lee Grahn slammed the “How to Get Away With Murder” star after the awards show ended.
“I wish I loved #ViolaDavis Speech, but I thought she should have let @shondarhimes write it. #Emmys,” she wrote.
