ESSENCE is clearly a fan of all things Black love, especially when it’s so abundantly apparent in our favorite celebrities. One couple who has that type of love that spans decades is Samuel L. Jackson and his wife, actress LaTanya Jackson. We caught up with Jackson on the red carpet for his latest film, Glass, earlier this year and told him that our readers adore the love he and LaTanya share. He was shocked to find out people cared that much about it and then shared, “I’m in a revolutionary family. That’s who we were. We always wanted to be that.” Check out the full video above.
