This is why it's important to also know your roots. Your actual history within your own family. Your own bloodline. It will give you a next level of pride...True or definitely true?

Yep, I stand at the bus stop every day directly across from The Chappelle Hall on the campus of HBCU, Allen University in Columbia, SC. The auditorium has been renovated and actually looks really nice inside as it is used for school events, meetings, activities, etc.

Who would have thought the dude from Half Baked would come from such as storied lineage and end up becoming one of the most gifted comedians of our lifetime

Bishop William D Chappelle did nothing but win! Good lawd he was a legend and WD Chappelle was killing it too

[trina-ramonajackson]

I'm uplifted through the accomplishments and contributions of his family. Dave is most definitely my favorite comedian because of his intellect and insight.

[YOURETHESECRETTV]

It's in everyone's DNA to be great. Everyone has a beginning point.

[jamalvargas]

That's Kinda cool Dave Chappelle is the GOAT at least there's some kind of Lineage

[Cpre]

I read about this and never once thought they could be related. Wow, small world. He's the descendant of a legend.

My Grandfather’s from Winnsboro, SC. I wonder if the SC Chappelle’s knew the Greene’s. My Grandfather wasn’t born until 1909 but some of his older siblings or parents may know them. My Grandfather was a history maker too by being President of Safe Bus company which is the 1st Black Owned bus company in the South. He also was a entrepreneur as well. This is neat to me bc Dave Chappelle is my favorite comedian!

[truewordsworth]

I maybe being bias due to being a huge Dave Chappelle fan but I think this may have possibly been one of the best comedy hype stories yet..very informative 👍
