Directed by Lacey Duke (who also did Janelle Monae's "I Like That" music video), the ad directly references Art Kane's infamous 1958 Esquirephotograph, "A Great Day in Harlem," which featured 57 jazz legends sitting on the steps of a brownstone in Harlem, New York, including Thelonious Monk, Count Basie, and Charles Mingus.
This time around, you'll spy Lena Waithe (Master of None), Logan Browning (Dear White People), Ava DuVernay (upcoming series Central Park Five), Spike Lee (She's Gotta Have It), Laverne Cox (Orange Is the New Black) and more, along with narrator Caleb McLaughlin (Stranger Things).
"This is a new day, built from the ground broken by legends," said McLaughlin's voice over. "A day for our generation to see untold experiences of our blackness, representing a limitless range of identity."
"We stand up on any stage and every screen," he continued. "A day when black women are boldly the lead character, whether inmates or scholars. We’re not a genre, because there’s no one way to be black. We’re writing while black — nuanced and complex, resilient and strong.
"This is not a moment. This is a movement. We are Strong Black Leads."
The TV spot is part of Netflix's larger "Strong Black Lead" marketing campaign, which showcases the company's push toward booking original shows that highlight black experiences, with Luke Cage, Dear White People, and She's Gotta Have Itjust a few notable recent additions to the streaming platform.
