The Academy recently announced who they are inviting to be members, who will get to vote on The Oscars this year and in the future.
Prior to the new class, only 8 percent of The Academy members were people of color.
The Academy has invited 683 actors, writers, directors and other industry professionals to join this year, and it is a much more diverse bunch than usual.
Hopefully The Academy has truly learned a valuable lesson and will continue to make strides in the future.
