5 Notable Films To Watch For Black History Month

“Boyz In The Hood”

“Boyz In The Hood” is the story of a group of African American boys growing up in South Central Los Angeles in the early 1990s. The movie follows the boys as they experience typical situations of urban cities during that time period including continuous run ins with the LAPD, unsolved murders, robberies and drugs. Although the movie ended in tragedy, it is an amazing eye opener to some of the issues that black men living in urban cities encountered during the early 1990s that have spilled over to today.
