The Don Lemon Show · Has Stephen A. Smith Failed Black People? With Jemele Hill · 17 Aug 2026 podcast

Black folks at the producer level. voice-verified

At other levels in our industry to bring them into the fold, there are a lot of black people who can say Stephen A helped me with my career, that Stephen A voice-verified

He elevated me in this way. voice-verified

When he had his show, quite frankly, on ESPN, it is true he created a segment strictly for black voices on his show because there wasn't a lot of black columnists. voice-verified

I was one of the black columnists that appeared on his show. voice-verified

Me, Rob Parker, Gary Howard, it was very few of us. voice-verified

Stephen A, it is true, gave us a platform to do those things. voice-verified

So while I do voice-verified

Understand that how he has done and moved and operated in certain ways has gone against the mission of NABJ. voice-verified

And that thumbs down award, that is what it is supposed to address. voice-verified

I do think the body of work should matter. voice-verified

And Stephen A does not have a lengthy track record, I think, of going against the core and the root of what Black journalism is. voice-verified

And while I don't like a lot of the things that he has said. voice-verified

I'm also voice-verified

I also cannot absolve or cannot erase the contributions he's made, both as a black journalist himself and also as somebody who has tried in many instances to use his position to help other black journalists. voice-verified

I do. voice-verified

You voice-verified

Yeah, and Don, I think what you brought up is fair and not just fair, but but justified. voice-verified

And I know personally of black journalists, senior black journalists who have had tried to have these conversations with Stephen A behind closed doors. voice-verified

And 'cause they've told me about it. voice-verified
