Mahele o ka mea e hana ai He Ao Okoa ʻO ia ka ʻoiaʻiʻo i loaʻa kahi wahi e haʻi ai i nā moʻolelo i haʻi ʻole ʻia i kēlā manawa. ʻAe, aia nā '90s Black sitcoms i pā pōkole i ke ola o ka pā kula (e like me ka wā i hele ai ʻo Will lāua ʻo Carlton i ULA ma Keiki Alii Hou o Bel-Air ), akā, ʻaʻohe o lākou i kālele pono i ka nohona o kēlā me kēia lā o Black coeds ma kahi HBCU (ke kulanui ʻeleʻele a me ke kulanui).
Mahalo i ke alakaʻi o ka hōʻike, ʻo Debbie Allen, i puka i ke kula ʻo Howard (he HBCU pilikino), He Ao Okoa Hāʻawi ʻia kahi ʻano hoʻomaha a me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo i ke ola o ka pā kula, piha me nā lumi hoʻomaha hoʻomaha, nā pāʻina koleke, nā haʻawina haʻawina i ka pō a me nā ʻākoakoa ʻana ma ka pā kula punahele a kēlā me kēia kanaka, ʻo The Pit.

A ʻo ka mea maikaʻi loa, ua hōʻike ʻo ia i nā wahi hoihoi loa o ke ola haumāna, mai ka hula kula a me ka pule wikiwiki a hiki i nā hoʻokūkū heʻe.
2. Ua hōʻike i ka honua ʻaʻole he monolith ka poʻe ʻeleʻele
ʻO ka mea i ʻike i kēia hōʻike e ʻae ʻo ia ke kumu nui o ka ʻokoʻa o ka mea hoʻokani He Ao Okoa ke kani mau nei me nā mea pā ma mua o ʻekolu mau makahiki ma hope. Ua ʻike mākou i ka nui o nā mea hoʻokalakupua a paʻakikī hoʻi, he ʻano ʻano like ʻole ko lākou āpau. A ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā mea nānā ʻeleʻele e ʻike maoli iā lākou iho i ka ʻike ʻia i loko o kēia mau kiʻi TV - kahi mea i kakaikahi loa i ka wā o ka hōʻike.
I loko o kahi ninaninau me NBC, Charlene Brown, nāna i hoʻokani iā Kim Reese akamai, wehewehe , Aia kekahi mea no kekahi, ʻo kēlā me kēia malu o ka ʻEleʻele ʻoe a i ʻole ka malu o ka ʻeleʻele ʻaʻole ʻoe. ʻO kēlā me kēia makahiki āu i noho ai, inā paha ʻoe i hoʻomaha a hoʻāʻo e hāʻawi i kāu kōkua i kēia poʻe ʻōpio e like me Mr. Gaines. Inā he kanaka koa ʻoe ma mua e like me Colonel Taylor. Inā paha he kanaka ʻoe i manaʻo ua pau iā ʻoe akā e hoʻāʻo hou ʻoe e like me Jaleesa.

3. Ua hoʻoponopono ʻo 'A Different World' i kekahi mau pilikia koʻikoʻi
He Ao Okoa ʻo ia (wayyyy) ma mua o kona manawa, a ʻo ka nui o ia mea e pili ana i ke ʻano o kā lākou kamaʻilio ʻana i nā pilikia pilikanaka a politika.

ʻO 'Cat's In the Cradle' paha kekahi o nā mea hoʻonāukiuki nui loa, e pili ana i ka hoʻokalakupua a me ka hoʻokalakupua. I loko o ia mea, komo ʻo Dwayne Wayne (Kadeem Hardison) a me Ron Johnson (Darryl M.

ʻO kahi hanana poina e hōʻike ana i kēia kaulike ʻo ia ka 'The Little Mister' o ka makahiki ʻeono, kahi i moeʻuhane ai ʻo Dwayne e pili ana i ke koho balota ʻAmelika i ka makahiki 1992-koe wale kēia manawa, ua hoʻololi ʻia nā kāne. Ma ka parody, hoʻokani ʻo Whitley (Jasmine Guy) i ke Kiaʻāina ʻo Jill Blinton ʻoiai ʻo ia e pāʻani ana iā Hilliard Blinton, he hoa kālai'āina e pili ana i ka nānā mau ʻana i ka media a me kahi hōʻino nui.
5. Ua hoʻoikaika ka hōʻike i nā poʻe he nui e hele i ke kulanui
Ma luna o ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka ʻakaʻaka nui a me ka lawe ʻana i nā pilikia koʻikoʻi i ke kukui, He Ao Okoa ua hoʻohuli ʻia hoʻi i nā poʻe ʻōpio e hele i ke kulanui.
Ma 2010, ua hōʻike ʻo Kauka Walter Kimbrough, ka pelekikena o ke Kulanui ʻo Dillard ʻO ka New York Times kēlā ʻAmelika hoʻonaʻauao kiʻekiʻe ua ulu ʻia e 16.8 pakeneka mai ka makahiki 1984 (ka hoʻomaka mua o Ka Hōʻikeʻike Cosby ) i ka makahiki 1993 (i ka manawa He Ao Okoa pau). Ua hoʻohui pū ʻo ia, 'I ka manawa like, ua ulu nā koleke ʻeleʻele a me nā kulanui i ka 24.3 pakeneka—44 pakeneka ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o nā kula kiʻekiʻe.'
Me ka hōʻike hoihoi o ke ola haumāna, he mea maʻalahi ke ʻike i ke kumu o ka piʻi ʻana o kēlā mau helu helu.
