“I actually was abandoned in the trash in 1966, in Mississippi, and she found me,” he says about the woman who adopted him.

When the couple returned to Mississippi a year later and attempted to visit his birth mother, they discovered she had left her home and her baby behind.

“She saw a pile of trash outside of the house,” Davidson said about his adoptive mother. “Something told her to look under this tire that was on top of the trash. When she moved the tire, she saw my foot. She uncovered the trash and there I was, starved. I had contusions on my skull. I was in a coma. I was 18 months.

Baby Tommy spent two months in the hospital, before being released to the woman who would later adopt him. Duing his Uncensored episode, he unpacks the racism and struggles he faced growing up in a white family. 

Uncensored Tommy Davidson” airs on Sunday, Sept. 12 at 10PM ET/PT.
