Exhibit 3
When it comes to the $1.3B box office hit Black Panther, Nelson Peltz asks: “Why do I need an all-Black cast?”
Recently, Mr. Peltz has made a series of disturbing public statements that Blackwells believes are an affront to Disney’s customers, employees and shareholders.
Is this a person who should be anywhere close to Disney’s board?
