Hattie struggles throughout the book to make space for herself (and other actors like her) to take on roles that go against the NAACP and Walter White’s vision for Black performers.

Who do you personally think was right? Do you agree with Hattie or with Walter?

I agree with Hattie, for herself. That does not discredit how other people of color felt about her taking the roles she did. At the end of the day, it's what she wanted to do for her life and she was proud of it, as she should be. I think everyone was entitled to their opinion, although Walter White did not have to keep singling her out.

Walter White was a man who torn down while Hattie was inclusive.

I believe everyone has their own perspective on the story. Both were working to make things right. Both took different points of views. I can't really say if either was right or wrong. I can say that they both hurt each other in many ways. They really should have worked together for the common goal instead of putting one another down for what both were trying to achieve.
