Mississippi has the highest rate of poverty out of every state in the U.S. — over 20% of people live in poverty — and has a high percentage of people who identify as black or African American (over 37%) compared to other states.
Just over a year ago, Spencer bought out a theater to screen Hidden Figuresin Baldwin Hills in Los Angeles for the same purpose. She inspired some of her costars to do the same in theaters across the country.
"My mom would not have been able to afford to take me and my siblings," Spencer wrote about Hidden Figuresin 2017, "So, I'm honoring her and all single parents this #MLKWeekend."
