Courier exclusive — Actresses Danai Gurira and Scarlett Johansson, and former A.G. Eric Holder, urge Black Pittsburgh to vote for Kamala Harris

by Rob Taylor Jr., Courier Staff Writer This isn’t a movie. The upcoming presidential election is real. So real that movie stars have come to Pittsburgh to let those in this pivotal region know that there’s a clear choice for president — Kamala Harris. Danai Gurira, who most notably played Okoye in the powerful movies “Black Panther” and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” and as Michonne on “The Walking Dead,” spent time on the North Side of Pittsburgh Sunday afternoon, Nov. 3, urging residents to vote for Harris and inspiring canvassers to continue their important work. Gurira later joined an event in Aliquippa, Beaver County, hosted by Aliquippa mayor Dwan B. Walker. Gurira was joined on the North Side by her fellow “avenger,” highly-acclaimed actress Scarlett Johansson. & ACTRESSES DANAI GURIRA AND SCARLETT JOHANSSON, ON PITTSBURGH’S NORTH SIDE, SUNDAY, NOV. 3, 2024.

I think that is something we can’t forget.”...
