A month we African Americans celebrate our history in America.<\/p>\n<p>There are so many historical African Americans to write about here in entertainment, politics or sports. Here on &#8220;M.I.C News Magazine&#8221; I want to give props to what some people say the best actor alive today, Denzel Washington.<\/p>\n<p>Washington has received three Golden Globes, two Tony Awards, and two Oscars for Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor.<\/p>\n<p>Truth be told he should have won a freakin Oscar and Golden Globe Award for Malcolm X in 1992. Anyone who saw that movie should know I am telling the truth. I have watched that movie maybe twenty times over the years.\u00a0 He nailed Malcolm X. It was unreal that he did not win a Oscar and some say it was because of the person he played in the movie and the Academy did not want to &#8220;glorify&#8221; a person certain folks did not like.<\/p>\n<p>Denzel is a role model all young people should look up to and for sure young African American kids. He is one of only a few African American leading men in Hollywood sorry to say. Himself, Will Smith and a few others.<\/p>\n<p>He also does work in the theater from time to time. In 2014 Washington played the leading role in a Broadway play of Lorraine Hansberry&#8217;s classic &#8220;A Raisin In The Sun&#8221;. The play won a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play. He has shown all though his career that he can handle any kind of role that he decides to do. He is just a great great actor. Pure and simple.<\/p>\n<p>Also Denzel gives back by being a national spokesperson for &#8220;Boys &amp; Girls Clubs Of America&#8221; since 1993 and is a board member for the organization since 1995. I am sure you have seen Washington and public service commercials he does for the Boys and Girls Club on TV.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to read the full bio of Denzel on the link above.
