Hampton Jr.:
We attempt Best Supporting Actor to not walk in the footsteps but in their Black Panther Party paw steps, and not just in theory, not in a romanticized type of way( but) with our programs, with our criticisms, with our self-criticisms, with our struggles, our politics of internationalism, with the present-day Rainbow Coalition, with the Triple Cs — the children, community and Black Panther Party Cubs — supplying services for the people, not in a charity type of way but where people themselves can get involved and fight for their own self-determination.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is another name for rainbow?
Literally speaking, a rainbow is an arc (bow) of colors that appears in the sky due to rays of sunshine being reflected and refracted by raindrops (or other water droplets). The word rainbow is also commonly used to refer to any artistic representations of this.
Technically speaking, a rainbow can be classified as a primary rainbow or a secondary rainbow. Together, they can form a double rainbow. Triple rainbows are very rare.
Rainbow is also commonly used as an adjective that means containing all or many colors of the spectrum (the main ones being red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet—aka roygbiv). Synonyms of this sense include multicolored (or multicolor), kaleidoscopic, and prismatic. Kaleidoscopic suggests something full of bright colors in a way that’s reminiscent of the images seen when looking through a kaleidoscope. Prismatic is a reference to the rainbow-colored when light shines through a prism.
Extended from this is a more general sense of rainbow that’s applied to anything featuring a diverse collection of people or things, as in rainbow coalition.
Rainbows and rainbow flags are popularly used as symbols of the LGBTQ+ community.
