🎬 Read a book where a character does something amazing at a young age.
🎬 Read a book with an African American character or by an African American author.
Boyz n the Hood (1991) has since attained classic status and, in 2002, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
His directing ability led to the VFX-driven "Remember the Time" music video for Michael Jackson, which featured Eddie Murphy, Iman and Magic Johnson. His next films were Poetic Justice (1993) and Higher Learning (1995), which were similarly socially conscious and received mixed to positive reviews.
🎬 Read a book that can be considered "culturally significant".
🎬 Read a Classic.
🎬 Read a book with a TWO WORD title.
The film Rosewood (1997), Singleton's historical drama about racial violence, was entered into the 47th Berlin International Film Festival. Both this film and Baby Boy (2001) received very positive reviews and helped establish Singleton's critical reputation. Additionally, his adaptation of Shaft (2000), starring Samuel L. Jackson in the title role, was successful critically and commercially.
Singleton later turned to directing action films, such as 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) and Four Brothers (2005). After directing episodes of the critically acclaimed TV shows Empire and American Crime Story, he served as an executive producer of the crime drama series Rebel for BET and co-created Snowfall for FX.
🎬 Read a book from the Historical genre.
🎬 Read a book with a number (of any kind) in the title.
🎬 Read a book tagged Action.
🎬 Read a book that became a TV show.

🎬 Read a book where the main theme has to do with crime or with characters that are police personnel.
🎬 Read a book set in Los Angeles.
On April 17, 2019, Singleton suffered a stroke and was placed under intensive care. He reportedly began to experience weakness in his legs after returning to the United States from a trip to Costa Rica. On April 25, it was reported that he was in a coma, but his daughter claimed otherwise. On April 29, Singleton was removed from life support, and he died at the age of 51 at Cedars-Sinai Hospital. He is survived by his mother, Sheila Ward, his father, Danny Singleton and his children Justice, Maasai, Hadar, Cleopatra, Selenesol, Isis, and Seven. Singleton was married only once for one year.

John Daniel Singleton (January 6, 1968 – April 29, 2019) was an American film director, screenwriter, and producer. He was best known for directing Boyz n the Hood (1991), for which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director, becoming, at age 24, the first African American and youngest person to have ever been nominated for that award.

His directing ability led to the VFX-driven "Remember the Time" music video for Michael Jackson, which featured Eddie Murphy, Iman and Magic Johnson. His next films were Poetic Justice (1993) and Higher Learning (1995), which were similarly socially conscious and received mixed to positive reviews.

Both this film and Baby Boy (2001) received very positive reviews and helped establish Singleton's critical reputation. Additionally, his adaptation of Shaft (2000), starring Samuel L. Jackson in the title role, was successful critically and commercially.
Singleton later turned to directing action films, such as 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) and Four Brothers (2005). After directing episodes of the critically acclaimed TV shows Empire and American Crime Story, he served as an executive producer of the crime drama series Rebel for BET and co-created Snowfall for FX.
