Nicole Beharie on the timing of ‘Juneteenth’
Beharie spoke to Entertainment Tonight about the unexpected timing of Miss Juneteenth. She says she has been thinking a lot about how the movie is being released during a time where the country is undergoing so much unrest after the violent deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and others.
“I think it’s really powerful,” Beharie tells Entertainment Tonight. “I’ve been thinking a lot about it. It kind of messes with my mind a little bit. That moment of liberation, of freedom, of everyone collectively finally becoming free, it kind of feels like there’s a parallel here, hearkening back to a time where people weren’t aware of new rights, of a new era, and of a new paradigm.”

Beharie stars in another film about change in America. Back in 2013, she played Jackie Robinson’s wife in the movie 42. “I think one of the things about their relationship that struck me was that they found a way of coping with some of the hardships that they had to deal with by finding the humor with one another and spending time with one another,” she says in an interview for the film.
“[They also coped by] taking drives around and things like that. I was like, ‘Wow, that seems like such a tiny, small little thing,’ but it helped them get through years and years of an isolated lifestyle.”
