Activism
We tune into shows for entertainment, but A Different World was a show that not only entertained but did so in a way that stressed the importance of activism in our everyday lives. Whether the characters talked about apartheid in South Africa, AIDS, or depictions of blackness in characters like the Mammy figure, ADW reminds us that there are always opportunities to learn, grow and to change the status quo, and to stand up for ourselves and each other.
