Samuel L. Jackson's forgotten past as a student activist who held MLK Sr. hostage resurfaces.
Jackson was a student at Morehouse College , a historically Black college ( HBCU ) in Atlanta , Georgia .
Jackson and several of his classmates decided to hold the Morehouse college Board of Trustees hostage until they met their demands of changing the governing structure.
Kahlil Greene , a Peabody Winner known for his concise breakdowns and analyses of US culture on his TikTok page ' Gen Z historian' shares his take on the significance of Jackson 's role during the Super Bowl halftime show.
The character is in stark contrast to Jackson 's past behaviors and his personal politics in real life, which makes his role as Uncle Sam that much more nuanced.
