On this edition of In Black America, producer and host John L. Hanson Jr. presents a tribute to the late Ron Simons, five-time Tony Award-nominated and four-time Tony Award-winning producer and a four-time Sundance Film Festival selected producer, and founder and CEO of SimonSays Entertainment.
With over two decades of experience, Simon was a pioneering force in bringing diversity to the stage and behind the scenes – he lead the effort to tell stories of African American history, culture, and experience.
