A hidden hand who has shaped Black culture on television for half a century (think: Def Comedy Jam, Martin, and multiple Dave Chappelle stand up specials and other tv series) he is the man who defined the term “just keep going." Meet prolific film and television producer and director Stan Lathan. You can fool some of the people some of the time. You can't fool all the people all the time. The problem is, you can fool yourself any time. But eventually, the clock runs out on everybody. "I didn't even realize I was in the fight. And I was losing it, because it affected everything else in my life." "I didn't even realize I was in the fight. And I was losing it, because it affected everything else in my life." How Stan Lathan's perseverance in a personal battle is now felt by all whose work he continues to elevate with his eye, skill, and directorial finesse. It's the scars of battle that shape the generals. And we follow in their footsteps because they've walked through fire.
