Name the Strongest, black male lead roles in film depicted as family/community leaders...

[UserNameless]

this might need to go to the film room, but I'll gauge y'all...


... I'm not a huge movie buff, but I was just having trouble thinking of a sizeable list of strong, black male roles who were a lead in a film and depicted as a leader of his family and/or community and not fatally flawed...

...try to refrain from the depictions of actual people in biopics and such...


Most recent one I could think of was Ice Cube in the last Barbershop Movie.



Name some others tho...

[Blown Moon]

OG Bobby Johnson.

I get why you say that but frankly those kind of roles for black men are so few and far in between that I think it's worth listing the non-fiction ones as well.
