Tyler Perry tells Gayle King: "I'm ignored in Hollywood"

Tyler Perry made history this weekend with the grand opening of Tyler Perry Studios. Perry is the first black American to own a major film studio outright. The Atlanta film complex spans 330 acres with12 sound stages - larger than the Burbank, California lots owned by Warner Brothers, Paramount, and Walt Disney Studios combined. “CBS This Morning” co-host Gayle King spoke to Perry in Atlanta about the historic moment. Tune in to “CBS This Morning” on Tuesday, October 8, for King’s full conversation with Perry.

@Matthew Williford If you don't know what "Black Wall street" is you are irrelevant in life. Black Wall street took place in Oklahoma where blacks became richer than whites and it was growing as blacks kept their money among themselves and built their own prosperous community so prosperous that white people called it black wall street. Then one day they came in planes and simply bombed it out of existence. Everybody ruined. No insurance or nothing.
