In this clip, actor Isaiah Washington revisits his collegiate stint at Howard University, stating that the experience reminded him of how Black he was and how Black he wasn't in terms of what he knew about the most influential African American civil rights leaders, etc. He also touches on the colorism he experienced there because of his darker skin tone. From there, the Texas native talks about moving to New York and immersing himself in theater. This prompts him to share a story about how his idol, John Amos, saved his life after he choked on a peanut during a live theatrical performance together.
