In memory of Darry Curtis. Darry Curtis had passed away last wednesday from a disease called tuberculosis. Dally was the protective one in the “family”. He died on sunday October 1st, 1967. The gang used to rely on him for protection and cooking, until he got a deadly disease called Tuberculosis which was spread through saliva. Darry was a special part in his “family” and it meant a lot to him to call himself a greaser. When the disease occurred, the lungs weren’t the only things. Every time he coughed blood came out and the gang couldn’t do anything about it. His family was proud of everything he has provided for them, and they will never forget all to memories that occurred before the death of Darry Curtis.

    The film Boyz N the Hood is a story about life in South Central Los Angeles. The film was wrote and directed by John Singleton in 1991. I chose this movie because of its relevance to the course and how it reflects pop culture in that time period. The opening line in the movie “one out of every twenty-one Black American males will be murdered in their lifetime” really catches the audience attention (Nicolaides & Singleton, 1991). This movie goes into detail and shows the life of three young males living in the hood of Los Angeles battling a life surrounded by drugs, violence, and questions of race.
