About what?

Going to an HBCU?

Obviously, Moorhouse is a special place.

But being a product of an HBCU what that has meant to your career what that has meant to your life.

Can you put that in perspective for a lot of folks out there for me, please?

Thank you.

And thank you.

Thank you, everyone.

I became I learned how to be a man at Morehouse.

It's a special feeling when your professors, your teachers, the faculty administration look like you a lot of lot.

These large white institutions.

If you're not an athlete, if you're not running up and down the court on the gridiron, they don't care about you.

You get no cute at black institutions.

And I would not be the person I am today or the artist I am today.

If I had not become a Morehouse man.

Thank you, Spike, Um, to my recollection, school days, school days.

Was it?

It was She's gotta have it.

And then it was school days, and then it was do the right thing.

Correct.

Correct.

Yes.

Right.

Okay, so So that was a look.

School days was a look at life on an HBCU, right?

Like what?

Big Brother Almighty.

I still remember that.

I haven't seen it since, you know, whatever.

1988 I think was 98th grade, right?

What?

What does it mean to you to make that film?

Okay, School days was my four years at Morehouse Jam packed in a homecoming weekend.

But I have to say, I took my major across the street at Clark College.

Now, Clark, Clark au Morehouse didn't have a master case of Major.

So my majors across street I get killed all the time.

When I don't mention that my major across street at Clark College First, my might my four years jam packed in homecoming weekend and nothing like to say Even today, people stop me toe stranger on the street and said I went to a black school because I saw school days.

That's right.

And that came out in 1988.

People still tell me back and then and I tell you something that that I think people Mrs Well, you know, I mean, they don't realize that, like a lot of times when folks watch shows like law and Order, they see a Samuel L.

Jackson, they in particular episode or Giancarlo Esposito A T shirt?

Campbell and others.

I mean, excuse me, they were in your movies.

Before there was Law and Order.

They were in your movies.

You were highlighting the great.

I mean, you were basically profiling and and and and really showcasing future stars in the world of Hollywood and entertainment.

Could you speak to that?

I mean, because there's a lot of talent that you put in your films.

Uh, and obviously a lot of them come from HBC users.

Well, can you talk about that for a second?

Well, do the right thing now is Martin Lawrence First film.

Rosie Presence First film.

The late, Great uh, Ruby Davis Ruby, Ozzy Davis.

Him Is India Max in Malcolm Emery.

Spectacular performance.

I'm sorry to double check it out, Spike.

Spectacular Spike Spectacular Way are a sports show.

Even though we're talking, we're talking hbcu So I wanna I wanna ask you when you see, like Makor Maker Choose an HBCU or Dion Sanders, Um, coach at an HBCU.

What do you think that does?

Like, What do you thinking?

What kind of effect do you think that has?

I think the more profile black schools get cows, universities, you know, it was a great thing, and my brother went to Howard.

You know, he's like, you know, is one of the top prospects, and so we don't I mean, they could be a trickle down effect.

I'd like to say something.

When Tiger was hitting, I thought that there's be a revolution of like, golfers.

It never happened.

So I don't wanna go too far out in the limit.

Okay, listen before, because we because we're running out of time, I I'd be remiss and neglecting to bring this up.

Max was laughing at me yesterday morning, but it's not a laughing matter.

The Knicks air coming, Spike Lee, I like what I'm seeing.

My next cup, your Knicks.

This is why the Knicks are no good.

Is your to fault, Spike and Stephen.
