00:15:23,456 --> 00:15:26,192 - Welcome back to the 2020 BET Awards. 401 00:15:26,259 --> 00:15:27,994 - For years P&G's been committed to 402 00:15:28,061 --> 00:15:30,196 changing the way Black men are seen in the world 403 00:15:30,263 --> 00:15:32,198 and how they are portrayed in media. 404 00:15:32,265 --> 00:15:34,100 But we know we must do more. 405 00:15:34,167 --> 00:15:35,702 Through the "Take on Race" fund, 406 00:15:35,769 --> 00:15:38,338 P&G is committed to mobilizing and advocating 407 00:15:38,404 --> 00:15:40,874 for Black men to ensure that they are supported. 408 00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:43,476 One example of what our young men are capable of achieving 409 00:15:43,543 --> 00:15:45,745 when properly supported and encouraged 410 00:15:45,812 --> 00:15:47,647 is evident in the amazing achievements 411 00:15:47,714 --> 00:15:50,316 of Princeton's first Black valedictorian, 412 00:15:50,383 --> 00:15:51,985 Nicholas Johnson. 413 00:15:52,051 --> 00:15:55,622 - P&G is proud to Shine A Light on Nicholas Johnson, 414 00:15:55,688 --> 00:15:57,690 the first Black valedictorian 415 00:15:57,757 --> 00:16:01,428 in Princeton University's 274-year history. 416 00:16:01,494 --> 00:16:04,531 {\an8} - Being Princeton's first Black valedictorian 417 00:16:04,597 --> 00:16:06,065 is an accomplishment 418 00:16:06,132 --> 00:16:08,234 that really holds a special place in my heart. 419 00:16:08,301 --> 00:16:10,136 It is extremely empowering, 420 00:16:10,203 --> 00:16:13,373 particularly given Princeton's historical ties 421 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,008 to the intuition of slavery. 422 00:16:15,074 --> 00:16:17,777 Princeton's first nine presidents were themselves 423 00:16:17,844 --> 00:16:19,612 slave owners, as were several professors 424 00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:21,848 during the university's early years. 425 00:16:21,915 --> 00:16:24,083 I think that given those historical beginnings, 426 00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:27,320 the fact that we now today have a Black valedictorian, 427 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,756 goes to show how progress has occurred. 428 00:16:29,823 --> 00:16:32,025 However the fact that it has taken so long, 429 00:16:32,092 --> 00:16:34,727 also goes to show how much work still needs to be done. 430 00:16:34,794 --> 00:16:38,465 Next off, I'll be beginning a PhD studies 431 00:16:38,531 --> 00:16:41,501 in

00:16:46,106 an entrepreneurial path. 435 00:16:46,172 --> 00:16:48,775 One in which I really leverage my skill set 436 00:16:48,842 --> 00:16:52,178 to tackle important problems in healthcare and in
