This is one of my favorite pictures of John Singleton. He was a badass 23 year old who took all of Hollywood by storm. Unapologetically Black and free.pic.twitter.com/JDeYuZZ2mZ

John Singleton was brilliant. His movies populated my childhood. He changed the game and told stories that showed 360 degrees of Black life...the beauty and the pain, the success and the struggle. And marched to the best of his own drummer for 25+ years in film.pic.twitter.com/8E5bu9ucTW

They were all so young. John Singleton with Cuba Gooding Jr., Ice Cube, and Morris Chestnut. He made them the stars of a South Central story that had never been told well before. It changed the whole game and launched so many careers into the stratosphere.pic.twitter.com/9wQ3Czb5F3

About 10 years ago, I had the pleasure of developing a script with him. He was kind, gracious and - most importantly - patient with a writer (me) who felt like he was way in over his head.
