Jamil Walker Smith, the voice of Gerald, said it best in an interview with UPROXX in 2016: “Hey Arnold! was ahead of its time. When I watch it now, the issues and the things that Craig and Steve [Viksten] and Joe [Purdy] and everyone else who was writing on the show, the things that they were able to deal with and confront, when I watch it now I’m like, wow, that’s social commentary, that’s critique, that’s real stuff. But they were able to do it in such a way that they weren’t pushing issues in your face, they were just talking about life and it just so happens that those are things, if you’re honest, that you don’t typically see in cartoons.”

All month long, Nickelodeon traces back the places, experiences, and cultural traditions that connect history-making African-Americans from the past to the kids of today… and the groundbreakers of tomorrow.
