Black Twitter Just Honored Jesse Williams in the Most Incredible Way

The 2016 BET Awards was flooded with several memorable moments — Beyoncé pun intended — but it was Jesse Williams's incredible pro-Black acceptance speech for his Humanitarian Award that had the masses talking days later. Leaving a lasting impression on the social media community, Black Twitter chose to honor the activist by creating the #JesseWilliamsAppreciationDay hashtag, and it's pretty amazing.

Showering the Grey's Anatomy star with praise, Black Twitter used the now viral hashtag to show just why Jesse Williams is Black excellence. Take a look at some of the tweets, below:

It seems as Jesse's words resonated with the wider community in general as, according to Twitter stats, his speech was the most-Tweeted-about moment on last Sunday night and his follower count rose 10 percent, overnight.

Very much deserving.
