Higher Learning always been one of my favorite movies since I was a shorty. Been watching Snowfall the last few days FINALLY. It really is a good show.

This is not a good loss. Bruh was very talented smh.

Legend. Higher Learning was underrated. One of my favorites.

John really set the blueprint for the 90's. So much cultjre brought to the masses by John's films.

As a movie buff this is a blow, first African American to be nominated for Best Director Oscar and youngest to be nominated for Best DIrector. Not many directors first movie makes a major impact on the industry.

Didn't even know...

Higher Learning was dope.

I remember a lot of white boys were heated because those brothas beat the skinheads asses in the fight.

Apparently one of the daughters, don't know the details...I think the first daughter, because apparently it was a will that had not been updated since the 1990s.
