Reginald Hudlin

Political activist Najee Ali calls Reginald Hudlin a "living legend" for his contributions to black entertainment. His work on movies like House Party, Boomerang, Bebe's Kids, and Django Unchained, television shows like The Boondocks, Showtime at the Apollo, the Oscars and the NAACP Image Awards, and comic books like Black Panther and Spider-Man have made him, to quote cultural critic Jimi Izrael, "a modern-day Gordon Parks, a true monster in the game who totally re-did the blueprint- what some people used to call a renaissance man."
