YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this excerpt from the latest NIGHT SCHOOL episode, Marc Lamont Hill breaks down Rev. Al Sharpton’s bold move against Pepsi for cutting its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.
Pepsi quietly rolled back Black hiring goals, cut supplier diversity, and stepped back from community partnerships—moves Hill says mirror Trump’s anti-DEI agenda. But Rev. Al isn’t letting it slide. He warned Pepsi to reverse course or face a nationwide boycott of everything from Gatorade to Doritos.
Hill calls this a test of power, respect, and strategy. He defends Sharpton from critics and calls on the Black community to organize and fight back with economic pressure. “Where we spend matters,” Hill says. “Boycott or get bought out.”
This moment isn’t just about Pepsi. It’s about all companies that treat equity like a trend.
