@ the Awesome BET Awards.. Co-host Tracee Ellis Ross said she was supporting Hillary Clinton

and reminded viewers several times to “get yourself registered!” Clinton has a past with BET: She appeared at BET’s “Black Girls Rock!” event in April and told the audience “my life has been changed by strong black women leaders.”

Tracee E Ross & Anthony Anderson who hosted BET Awards last year, too

And, from Hillary Supporter, Samuel Leroy Jackson who received the Lifetime Achievement award..

Samuel L. Jackson received the lifetime achievement award and was introduced by Spike Lee. Jackson ended his speech by offering praise to Williams, calling him “the closest thing I’ve heard to a 1960s activist.”

“That brother is right and he’s true, and when you hear what he said, make sure you vote and you take eight more people with you to vote, OK?” Jackson said. “Don’t get tricked like they got tricked in London!"

Broadway will rustle up more than a few Hamiltons for Hillary Clinton next month.

The Lin-Manuel Miranda brainchild “Hamilton” will put on a special matinee performance July 12 to raise money for the presumptive Democratic nominee’s campaign.
