Yusuf Hawkins Documentary ‘Storm Over Brooklyn’ Coming To HBO

Source: New York Daily News Archive / Getty Yusuf Hawkins  was slain by a violent white mob nearly 30 years ago, and a new documentary will examine the incidents leading up to this tragic moment in New York history. HBO has ordered Storm Over Brooklyn and will be coming to the cable network at a later date. Shadow and Act writes : The project is a result of the inaugural Feature Documentary Initiative created in 2017 between U.K./U.S. producer Lightbox and the American Black Film Festival to foster diversity in the feature documentary arena. Directed by Muta’Ali, the film will center on the crime which shocked New York and the result of the nation, and its trickle-down impacts. Sixteen-year-old Hawkins had come to Bensonhurst with three friends to look at a used car, when they were attacked by the hostile mob, whose members mistakenly believed that Hawkins was dating a neighborhood girl who was white. The incident shocked New York and the world and unleashed a torrent of racial tension in an already divided city and led to televised protests and marches. The growing unrest contributed to the ousting of New York City Mayor Ed Koch in favor of David Dinkins, who became the city’s first — and as of now, only — African American mayor. “Yusuf Hawkins’ murder had a major effect on the public, and the locked away regret and sorrow questions a history that those involved have held onto for nearly 30 years. We will finally see the light of day in the context of our time. This is due to the courage of Yusuf’s loving family, as well as the visionary talent teams at HBO, Lightbox and ABFF,” said Muta’Ali. Joseph Fama, the man who fired the gunshots that killed Hawkins, was convicted of second-degree murder in May 1990. An accomplice, Keith Mondello, was acquitted of murder charges that year but charged with 12 other counts, which led to protests in the region led by Rev. Al Sharpton and other leaders. — Photo: Getty

A “Lil Positivity” President Obama Helps A Little Girl That Lost Her Father In 9/11 To Meet Justin Bieber

From Bin Laden to Bieber, there’s not a person ol’ Barry O can’t touch… It was an uplifting moment for the starry-eyed threesome from New Jersey — whose dads, Cantor Fitzgerald executives Glen James Wall and Donny Robertson, were killed in the Twin Towers on 9/11. The girls carried a life-size cardboard cutout of Obama and were so overcome with shyness, they could barely get any words out when the teenybopper showed up. “He was really nice and is so cute,” Avery beamed. “He didn’t even look real.” Payton and her BFF Madison began a letter-writing campaign to meet Bieber months ago. Payton mailed her plea to entertainment-industry honchos and to the White House, where Obama read it in early May. Obama invited the teen, her sister, and mom Diane, to a wreath-laying ceremony at Ground Zero last month — where Payton again made her request to the president. “I know Justin,” Obama told her. “Maybe I could set something up.” The POTUS is a man of his word, and in 2012 we need to vote him back into office so he can finish everything he started.
