英國演員艾喬格（Carmen Ejogo）如是說

公民權的概念
you know, the idea of civil rights
真的還有
and really
需要成為共同體的一部分
having to be part of a collective
有聲音對抗權威
to have a voice against authority
是由來已久的概念
is an age-old idea
也有不同的形式
and it comes in different forms
在美國當代這個時刻
and in this contemporary moment in America
絕對是以種族的外觀出現
it's definitely in the guise of race
但是你到烏克蘭
but you go to the Ukraine
你到香港
you go to Hong Kong
你到世界上任何地方
you go to any place around the world
都也有抗爭再進行
there are protests also going on
為了他們個人的動機
for their own personal causes
或許不是種廚
which may not be racial
但仍然有關被壓迫
but it's still about being oppressed
還有你如何找到其中你的聲音
and how do you find your voice in that
所以對我來說是
and so that for me is
長期要關照的主題
a constant theme to address

英國演員艾喬格（Carmen Ejogo）參與演出的電影《Selma》在美國各地陸續上映，她認為裔美人在60年代爭取平權的公民權運動，在世界各地都有類似精神的抗爭。
