While there have been far too many examples of police officers needlessly killing black people, the murder of George Floyd last month, triggered a — not only American — but global movement.

But it has been powerful to watch everyone — celebrities included — come together and demand long-overdue change.

Back in 2013, Julianne dressed up as her favorite Orange Is the New Black character for Halloween, painting her face dark brown in an attempt to look the part.

Obviously, this was a major lapse in judgment on her part.

"I am a huge fan of the show Orange is the New Black, actress Uzo Aduba, and the character she has created," she said.

Even Julianne's brother, Derek Hough, had something to say about it at the time.

"Obviously, it wasn't her brightest moment in her life, but hopefully we can move on," he told E!.

"I really had no idea what I was doing, and it was all out of fun and respect for the character," she said.

"I learned a big lesson."

But upon the recent shift of global climate, she has found her mistake to be more relevant than ever.

But in a recent Instagram live stream, Julianne spoke up again about the "shame" she has carried around over her blackface controversy.

She made sure to dedicate the stream to black victims that have been recently murdered and not given proper justice, George Floyd, Ahmed Aubrey and Breonna Taylor.

Then, in the second part of her stream (post-workout), she took a moment to discuss the extremity of racism these days, and how important it is that she recognizes her own privilege.

She was able to educate herself, learn from her errors, and hopes that others would be inspired to follow her lead.

She added that she is still curious and always looking for new ways to grow and improve herself.
