"#TBT at #HowardUniversity with my son. Was blessed to talk to the students and share words of encouragement. Met some talented students…"

MILLS ON SOCIAL JUSTICE

The star who is known for her role as "Dorothy" in 1975's "The Wiz" previously shared her thoughts on social justice, security unrest, and racial issues. In an interview, Mills did not hold back as she shared her grief towards the tragic passing of George Floyd.

Nick was diagnosed with Down Syndrome, but this did not deter his music talent.

She specifically mentioned some states where the security unrest was prominent as she stated that federal laws should be put in place and adhered to by the police. She also shared that a census action would help account for communities.

FACTS ABOUT THE ACTRESS

Mills, 63, first gained fame when she played "Dorothy" in "The Wiz." It was a double milestone achievement at the time as she also copped recognition for "Home," her signature single.

In the 1970s, Mills and the late king of pop, Michael Jackson were an item. Jackson played the scarecrow in "The Wiz." The duo dated for over one year and a half.

The Grammy-winning singer is a mom of one who once described her son as a blessing. Nick was diagnosed with Down Syndrome, but this did not deter his musical talent.

Mills is quite active on social media and she has been known to express her feelings and sometimes backlashes. She once bashed Nicole Currant for what she felt was social misconduct.
