Truly A Classic Movie Indeed.

The 1975 film Cooley High is a landmark in Black cinema and a defining piece of American cultural history. Set in Chicago during the 1960s, the movie tells the story of two high school friends, Leroy “Preach” Jackson and Richard “Cochise” Morris, as they navigate adolescence, dreams, and the realities of their environment. Directed by Michael Schultz and written by Eric Monte, the film drew from Monte’s personal experiences growing up in the Cabrini-Green housing projects, creating a heartfelt and authentic narrative that resonated with audiences nationwide.
Cooley High is often celebrated as the Black coming-of-age film that laid the groundwork for future classics. Its themes of friendship, ambition, and loss were universal, but its focus on the lived experiences of Black youth in urban America was groundbreaking. The film's soundtrack, featuring Motown hits like “Baby Love” by The Supremes and “Reach Out, I’ll Be There” by The Four Tops, perfectly captured the spirit of the era, making the movie as much a celebration of 1960s music as it was a poignant reflection on youth.
The film’s legacy endures, inspiring countless creators in film and television. Many credit Cooley High with influencing later works like Boyz n the Hood and The Wood. Its blend of humor and tragedy continues to captivate new generations, while its message about community, identity, and resilience remains timeless. Nearly 50 years after its release, Cooley High stands as a testament to the power of storytelling and the importance of authentic representation in cinema.

Truly One Of The Greatest Moments In Our History Of The Billiards World’s Championship. Rack Em!

The First and Only Black ....Cisero Murphy
to win a Billiards World's Championship Title (defeating many white top pool champions) during the Jim Crow Era. He became city champion in 1953 and state champion in 1958. From 1959 to 1964, he was the eastern state champion in the PAL. Later in life, Murphy participated in city programs to help young adults and children, such as Billiards in the Streets, sponsored by the Department of Parks and Recreation. He also would visit veterans hospitals, senior citizen homes, and mental hospitals giving trick shot exhibitions and teaching people how to play pool. He won the New York City championship at age sixteen, and when he was in his twenties, he won the Eastern States 14.1 Championship six straight times. Because he was African American in an era when there were racial tensions in the United States, Murphy was not invited to compete in world title events until 1965 despite his skills as a player. Many other African Americans who were not accepted in the world title events avoided confrontation due to intimidation
