In July 2018, the actor and comedian was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Just months later, in December 2018,  Cedric’s hometown of St Louis, Missouri named a street in his honor, Cedric The Entertainer Way, in recognition of his far-reaching career achievements and dedicated philanthropy.

In addition to starring in and executive producing TV’s #1 new comedy, THE NEIGHBORHOOD, Cedric also currently co-stars in the hit comedy “The Last O.G.” Additional television credits include “The Soul Man,” a comedy series Cedric co-created, executive produced and starred in for five seasons; “The Steve Harvey Show,” for which Cedric won four consecutive NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy; the sketch comedy series “Cedric the Entertainer Presents” nabbing the AFTRA Award of Excellence; and Disney’s animated “The Proud Family,” which earned him an NAACP Image Award. Also noteworthy, he hosted the 12th season of the syndicated game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.”

In film, Cedric is perhaps best known for his crowd-pleasing performances in the hit “Barbershop” film franchise, as well as “The Original Kings of Comedy,” the Spike Lee-directed concert feature that chronicled the record-breaking Kings of Comedy Tour. Additionally, his vocal talents are showcased in the top-ranking “Madagascar” and “Disney’s Planes” animated franchises. Most recently, Cedric earned critical acclaim for his dramatic performance in the Oscar-nominated feature, “First Reformed,” starring Ethan Hawke and Amanda Seyfried.

Data Driven: Advancing Racial Justice & Police Accountability (ACLU SD) @ UDW/AFSCME
Dec 3 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

We have a right to know how law enforcement interacts with our communities. The public should be able to trust that when an officer stops a person, it is for a legitimate and justifiable reason. However, officers entrusted to enforce our laws disproportionately stop, question and search Black and brown people in our community.

Please plan to attend our upcoming event, Data Driven: Advancing Racial Justice & Police Accountability in San Diego on Tuesday, December 3, for an analysis of policing practices in the San Diego region.

On December 3, the ACLU of San Diego & Imperial Counties will release a commissioned report that analyzes traffic and pedestrian stop data from the San Diego Police Department and San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.

You are invited to attend a special event to learn about this new report and to explore ways to address racially-biased policing, reduce police violence, improve accountability and make San Diego safer and more just for all.

The report’s author, Samuel Sinyangwe, data scientist and co-founder of Campaign Zero, will present on the report’s findings and recommendations.
