Actor Jesse Williams has acknowledged the backlash he faced after using a meme to promote is upcoming directional debut, "Till," by saying "every swing ain't gonna be a home run."
Earlier this week, Williams framed photos of Emmett Till's mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, in memes resembling Colin Kaepernick's Nike ads.
In a statement released on Tuesday night, Williams did not apologize for the images, but instead suggested people may have misunderstood them.
