There was also some Twitter controversy over Williams BET speech -- but it wasn't really aimed at him. (CNN) Actor Jesse Williams took to the BET Awards stage Sunday night as an honoree and left a hero. Like Belafonte -- who honored Williams in a video that was shown when he received his award -- Williams has used his platform as a celebrity to bring attention to his activism. The "Grey's Anatomy" star received the 2016 BET Humanitarian Award, and gave a powerful acceptance speech on race and this country.
