Since 1996, the Black Hollywood Education and Resource Center (BHERC.ORG) has had key supporters that have believed and supported our mission established by Sandra Evers-Manly to remove the veil of invisibility that shrouds African Americans and other minority groups from the main stage, and to spotlight diversity and the stellar contributions of black film and television artists who brought dignity and professionalism to even the most menial of roles.
