Michelle Williams Pleads for Pay<br />Equality During 2019 Emmy Awards<br />.<br />While accepting the award for outstanding<br />actress in a limited series, Michelle Williams<br />chose to speak up about equal pay. <br />.<br />Thank you so much to FX and Fox 21 Studios<br />for supporting me completely and paying me<br />equally because they understood that when you<br />put value into a person, it empowers that person<br />to get in touch with their own inherent value, Michelle Williams, via 'People'.<br />Williams went on to specifically address the<br />systematic underpayment of women of color. .<br />So the next time a woman, and especially<br />a woman of color, because she stands to make<br />52 cents on the dollar compared to her white<br />male counterpart, tells you what she needs in<br />order to do her job, listen to her, believe her, Michelle Williams, via 'People'.<br />After her speech, Williams took to the press<br />room to say that her success tonight won’t<br />matter until the “larger message is heard.”.<br />As I said before, there was this difficulty for<br />me of white woman in a privileged industry.<br />How difficult is it for women of color across<br />all industries? … There really won’t be any<br />satisfaction for me until the larger message<br />is heard, and and that’s what I really wanted<br />to point out tonight, Michelle Williams, via 'People'
