Sheryl Lee Ralph’s Emmy Awards acceptance speech will go down as one of the most memorable in the award show’s history. The 65-year-old actress won the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her work as Barbara Howard in Abbott Elementary, making her just the second black woman in history to win the award and the first since Jackée Harry, who won the award in 1987 and 1988 for her work on 227.
If fans didn’t know that Ralph got her start on Broadway, they certainly found out when she got on the podium and showed off her chops by singing her speech.
