Actress in a Drama Series: Viola Davis, How to Get Away With Murder

A graduate for Julliard, Davis’s first Emmy win was a milestone moment; she was the African-American to win the lead actress award.

Her speech talked about the importance of diversity. “In my mind, I see a line and over that line, I see green fields and lovely flowers and beautiful white women with her arms stretched out to me…but I can’t see to get over that line. That was Harriet Tubman in the 1800s,” Davis said. “The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity… So here is an Emmy for awesome people…people who have redefined what it means to be beautiful, to be sexy, to be a leading woman, to be black. And to the Taraji P. Hensons, Kerry Washingtons… thank you for taking us over that line.”
