<p>Many people are still mourning the shocking passing of John Singleton. Throughout the week, many of his peers have paid tribute to the legendary director as they remembered all of the contributions he has made to the culture. Now the Tribeca Film Festival is doing their part to honor him.</p>
<p>According to <em><a href="https://www.vibe.com/2019/05/john-singleton-boyz-n-the-hood-tribeca-film-festival">Vibe</a></em>, on Thursday, the Tribeca Film Festival announced that they would be doing a free screening of John’s classic 1991 film “Boyz N The Hood.”</p>
<p>The festival’s co-founder Jane Tribeca said in a statement, &#8220;John Singleton accomplished what all creators strive to do. He entertained but also inspired a generation of audiences. As the first African-American and youngest director to be nominated for an Academy Award at the age of 24, he allowed so many to envision themselves as change-makers. We want to celebrate him as we consider the legacy that he has left behind and so the Festival is adding a free screening of BOYZ N THE HOOD on Friday, May 3rd for the community to come together, see his pivotal film, and honor John.&#8221;</p>
