'The Flash' Showrunner Vows to Find More Black & Brown People 'To Help Tell Flash Stories'

The Flash showrunner is speaking out in support of Black Lives Matter.

Executive Producer/Showrunner Eric Wallace shared a letter in response to the firing of Hartley Sawyer after his offensive tweets resurfaced.

In the letter, Eric made a vow to bring some changes to the series.

“I, too, am committed to bringing permanent change to the work environment here on THE FLASH. Yes, this is a family show. But it’s for all families. That includes Black and Brown ones,” he writes.

“In order to facilitate this, I will continued to find Black and Brown writers, directors, actors and producers of all genders to help tell FLASH stories,” Eric continued. “Their stories are part of the American narrative, too, and must be heard. And the more you hear and see us, the more you will begin to recognize one simple fact: We’re human beings, too.”
