VIDEO : Snowfall Actor Says 'We Can't Whitewash' Part Of History

As a kid growing up in Harlem, ?Snowfall? actor Amin Joseph remembers seeing rumblings of what would grow into the crack cocaine epidemic: parks and school yards that had become places where people would do or sell drugs. This wasn?t something that hit him until years later. Yes, he participated in jokes about people being ?crackheads? and was surrounded by Nancy Regan?s ?Just Say No? campaign ? but Joseph said he wasn?t cognizant. Even when he stepped on a crack pipe when walking home from school, he didn?t think much of it.
