The Angela Bassett-narrated ad featured a baby walking toward an open door and the words mankind, womankind, humankind, transkind.
Says Bassett: “Is man kind? Are we good? Go see. Go look through their windows so you can understand their views, sit at their tables so you can share their tastes. Sleep in their beds, so you may know their dreams.”
