In celebration of the 35th anniversary of the iconic television series “A Different World,” we bring together the beloved cast members, Kadeem Hardison, Jasmine Guy, Darryl M. Bell, and Cree Summer, to explore whether it is indeed still “a different world” in the present day. This panel promises to be a nostalgic yet thought-provoking journey through the lens of a show that left an indelible mark on television and society.
