The actor and filmmaker, who built his career in the Georgia capital, said he had realized that in the former president’s America, “there is no dream that looks like me.”

Tyler Perry was one of the celebrity speakers to pull up to Georgia Thursday to encourage voters in the swing state to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. During his speech, the esteemed film director spoke about his journey through homelessness and slammed Donald Trump for his lack of support for Black Americans during his presidency and well before it.
