My grandfather Wally Ashby is not only my favorite Howard graduate, but one of the proudest HU grads I know. That oldhead pride is something different! My grandfather and I are like the same person; I consider him one of my best friends, which is why I always try to involve him in projects like this and why I could not wait to get this episode out. Wally attended Howard University from 1966-1970--right at the peak of the Civil Rigjhts Movement, the assassinations of MArtin Luther King and the Kennedys, the rise of the Black Power Movement and more. He attended classes with Debbie Allen and Phylicia Rashad. Revolutionaries like Kwame Toure and Queen Mother Moore would hold rallies on campus.

On this very special family episode of We See You, Wally takes us inside the world of 1960s Howard University, and shows us why this institution is such a cultural force in the Black American experience.
