Actor/producer Anthony Anderson came to Syracuse University this evening and recalled his journey from Compton to Hollywood (via Howard University). He broke down his own real-life bro mitzvah operation, as well as how he and his Black-ish co-creator Kenya Barris mine the details of their first-generation mega success into story ideas (Barris’s wife is named Rainbow). Anderson was a guest of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity for the Truth Be Told Program.
