Dave Chappelle was on the NPR show Fresh Air today. It is available from NPR in evil streaming RealAudio or evil streaming Windows Media formats. The interview, though, is not recent; it's from last year and was re-aired today to take advantage of the hype surrounding Chappelle's sudden flight to South Africa.

Among one of the things that interested me was that Chappelle talked about how he was the first member of his family since the end of slavery to not attend college. His father was a music professor and his mother was a Unitarian minister. After graduating from high school, he set off for New York at 17 to try and make it in stand-up comedy, to the disappointment of his mother and grandmother. Usually, you read about success stories where a particular person was the first person in the family to graduate from college; here, he's the first person to not graduate from college.
