Mother Earth is more than a planet. It is a home for every one of us, without any kind of distinction. We all have a stake – we all have to act and protect our Mother Earth. #EarthDay
Beautiful day with my daughters today! Happy Father!!!
I’m deeply touched to be receiving the Honorary Palme d’Or at the 75th Festival de Cannes! 34 years ago, being named Best Actor at Cannes for my performance in Bird launched my international career — so it’s especially meaningful to be returning for this honor. @festivaldecannes #Cannes2022
One week to Cannes! Well arrived in France, enjoying a little sun in Paris ☀
Thanks to the amazing cast and crew of Godfather of Harlem for making my birthday so special, and to all of you for sharing your birthday wishes!
Thank you for the great lunch yesterday, Luol. I was impressed by your commitment to empowering youths of South Sudan through basketball, but also academic education. Your foundation is doing a great job, I’m looking forward to a partnership with WPDI!

Last glimpse of Cannes. Thank you for all the love I received during the past few days. Thank you to the people who make the Festival such a unique rendezvous for the international film community. Being back to France was an amazing experience – as always. Can’t wait to be back.
Today, we celebrate the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Each of us has a role to play in freeing the world from racism. Let us unite to take action for a more just and equitable society. #FightRacism #IDERD
It was wonderful to talk about Godfather of Harlem with Whoopi Goldberg at @92ndstreety, and @michaelstrahan and @linseytdavis at @goodmorningamerica — I’m so glad that everyone has been enjoying our season!
Thank you so much Cannes! Receiving the 2022 Palme d’or d’honneur is a grace beyond words! My gratitude goes to Pierre Lescure and Thierry Frémaux for granting me this award, and for their commitment to cinema as a universal art @festivaldecannes #cannes
Taking a quiet moment by the sea in France.
The world met Harry Belafonte when he shattered boundaries as a singer and an actor, but will remember him best as a brave and tireless activist for equality and justice. He was a light through the darkness, inspiring my artistry and my humanity. Rest in power, Mr. Belafonte.
It all comes down to this. Don’t miss the season finale of #GodfatherOfHarlem, dropping tonight on @mgmplus.
Curious to know what 2068 might look like? Check out my episode of #Extrapolations — now streaming on @appletv

After a virtual graduation during the pandemic, it was incredible to watch my daughter True walk and to address her and her classmates at NYU Gallatin’s in-person commencement celebrations yesterday. I love you, True — congratulations to you and all of NYU Gallatin’s graduates!
Celebrating the screening of our documentary “For the Sake of Peace” with the production team! Cannot wait to bring it to you on Wednesday at the @festivaldecannes! #cannes2022
On #InternationalWomensDay, let’s celebrate female leaders and heroes, and take inspiration from them to pursue the fight for equality, which remains one of the most significant challenges of our time.
So happy to have “For the Sake of Peace” screened at the #CannesFilmFestival this year. My personal thanks to all of you who made the film possible – in South Sudan, the US and France! @whitaker_peace @r2digitalagency @nybongiovi @festivaldecannes #cannes2022
Now, more than ever, people are in need of their spirits being lifted.
