Two years after the sexual assault conviction that put her husband Bill Cosby behind bars, Camille Cosby is reemerging from the shadows of two high-profile criminal trials to lend her voice to a new generation of young African American protesters demanding systemic changes in the wake of George Floyd
A deeply private woman, Cosby has granted very few interviews over her 56-year marriage to the disgraced comedian and declined a request to speak with ABC News.
"She has so much to say. She's been on the peoples' business - front, line and center -- for decades," Jackson added, citing Cosby's dedication to African American issues ranging from education and voting rights to her doctoral work in psychology on traditionally negative depictions of African Americans in mass media and through history.
"The young people, the black young people are learning so much about being effective about speaking out," James said, adding that Cosby"Has things to tell them. She has things that are complicated to tell them … She can be their wisdom. She could really be an asset." Cosby continues to insist her husband is innocent and repeated last week that he was railroaded by a"mob of women" accusing her husband of crimes for which they can produce no proof.Rape is the most underreported of all major crimes, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Less than a quarter of all sexual assaults in the U.S. are reported, according to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center.
In her first interview in six years, Cosby spoke with Black Press USA writer Stacey Brown and radio host Frankie Darcell on June 14. She seemed ready for a fresh chapter and said she's thinking about writing a book.
