Criticism and Revamp
The show was revamped not only due to Lisa Bonet’s departure, but because there was criticism that the show inaccurately portrayed HBCU life. Debbie Allen not only expanded the Black cast, but she drew from her experiences as a graduate of Howard University. Her staff started to do research and visit HBCUs to include issues, events, history and experiences of real-life historically Black colleges and universities to the storyline.
