Kerry Washington, Ebony Obsidian, & Tyler Perry Light Up Empire State Building

The stars of The Six Triple Eight are taking over New York City!

Kerry Washington and Ebony Obsidian, who star in the new Netflix movie, along with director Tyler Perry helped light up the Empire State Building on Monday (December 16).

For the event, Kerry, 47, wore a maroon dress, Ebony, 30, donned a black leather and shearling coat over a brown sweater and light gray skirt, and Tyler, 55, sported a gray coat, cream-colored turtleneck, and black pants.

The new movie is inspired by the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color to serve overseas in WWII. Despite facing racism and sexism – and grueling working conditions – they were committed to serving their country with honor and distinction. Given an extraordinary mission and united in their determination, these unsung heroes delivered hope and shattered barriers.

The Six Triple Eight is out in select theaters now and will be available for streaming on Netflix starting on December 20. Watch the trailer here!
