He also appeared in popular films such as New Jack City, Sister Act, Regarding Henry, Mo’ Better Blues, He Got Game, The Legend of 1900, and Runaway Jury.

Throughout his career, Nunn became a respected character actor, particularly through his collaborations with filmmaker Spike Lee. He also supported young performers through the Bill Nunn Theatre Outreach Project, helping bring theater opportunities to students in Pittsburgh.
Born October 20, 1953, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Bill Nunn passed away on September 24, 2016, at the age of 62, following a battle with leukemia.

The NYPD says it had to subpoena the Department of Education to get information in the killing of 15 year old Javits Frimpong, the Bronx student shot on his way to school last week. Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny says police are weighing three motives: bullying, robbery, or the possibility he was mistaken for a rival gang member. His father believes his son's bullies are responsible. Police say three masked suspects approached him, he ran and dropped his backpack, a stranger stole it, and the shooters went back to grab the shell casing before fleeing. No arrests have been made.

When Ghana’s Kwame Nkrumah built schools and factories without Western loans, the CIA called him “dangerous.” When Congo’s Patrice Lumumba refused to grant Belgium and the US mining rights, he was killed within 7 months. Thomas Sankara fed his country without foreign aid. He lasted 4 years.
They Called African Independence a Threat. History Reveals Why.
Ghana’s Kwame Nkrumah invested in schools, factories, and national development because he believed political independence meant little without economic freedom. Yet his government became a target of intense Western suspicion, and the CIA supported efforts to remove him from power.
In Congo, Patrice Lumumba challenged foreign interference and fought for genuine national control over the country’s immense mineral wealth. In 1961, he was assassinated with the involvement of Belgian officials and the complicity of the CIA in earlier efforts to eliminate him.
Then came Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso. He promoted food self-sufficiency, public health, women’s rights, and independence from foreign aid. In 1987, he was murdered in a coup.
These leaders were not perfect, and their legacies deserve honest examination. But their stories raise an uncomfortable question: What happens when African leaders try to control Africa’s resources and destiny?
We all know the answer.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.
I will not be silenced.

Jaylen Brown exposing the behind-the-scenes realities of the NBA. He says most players have handlers who won’t let them invest in their communities, and help build the next Black Wall Street. Once you start doing that, he says, they begin attacking you media personalities like Colin Cowherd push certain narratives, and media companies come after you simply because you want to create change in your community.
