Acclaimed comedian and actor David Alan Grier takes a hilariously edgy and timely (BB and AB-Before and After Barack) look at what politics, culture, and race mean today, while recalling significant experiences from throughout his life. From marching as an eight-year-old with Dr. Martin Luther King and his failed junior high attempt to become a Black Panther (or Jimi Hendrix) to attending the Inauguration of President Barack Obama, where he stood stuck behind a tree and saw nothing, Grier offers a funny and original look at the new America.
