<v Speaker 3>and try to make sense of how we survived it

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.159
<v Speaker 3>with our friends, fellow comedians and favorite authors.

0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 2>We turned to some of our favorite people and asked,

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 2>who are you back then and how did the past

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:39.920

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 4>To be clear, eighty four was big to me, not

0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 4>just because of crack.

0:00:59.520 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Really.

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, for me, it's one of the most important years

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 3>for black people in American history.

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.600
