Do you remember the ABC After School Specials?
As a proud GenXer and latchkey kid, I remember having plenty of time to watch tv. I remember watching After School Specials and having conversations with my friends about the dramatic situations and their relevance to things in our own life. This particular one, The Wave, always stood out to me. I wondered if something like that could actually happen in real life.
What’s Past is Prologue
In the words of William Shakespeare, “What’s Past is Prologue”. Over the past 5 years, I found myself referring back to that video based on things happening in our country. It prompted me to create this video asking my TikTok followers if they see any similarities in what’s happening in the movie and what’s happening in America today.

The video TikTok didn’t want you to see. Shortly after I posted this on TikTok, it was pulled and I got yet another Community Violation for Hate Speech. Mind you, it isn’t my speech, it was in an Afterschool Special that aired on TV. Here’s the clip.
