He added that he wouldn't be rushing in, however.

“For now, I'm gonna let that office get cleaned up a little bit,” he added.

The series looks at the history and future of the 14th amendment of the US constitution, the cornerstone of equality of rights and of protection by law for all people in the United States.

“The 14th Amendment is essentially the center of what we think of when we think of ourselves as Americans,” Smith said. “The 14th Amendment is like the all-inclusive amendment that makes clear that all Americans are equal under the law. Ignorance can be educated. Evil is a much more difficult problem. Fortunately, ignorance is much more prevalent than blatant evil.

He added that he is 'optimistic. I'm hopeful, I believe in understanding between people. I believe in the possibility of harmony'.

Amend: The Fight For America, which also features Mahershala Ali, Samira Wiley, Courtney B. Vance and Samuel L. Jackson, is airing on Netflix now.
