In honor of Black History Month and the film’s 40th anniversary, the WGA Committee of Black Writers hosted an intimate screening of "Cooley High" last night in Los Angeles.
The classic story about a group of Chicago teens in the 1960s remained a fan favorite over the years for its heartfelt nostalgia and as Sergio pointed out, the movie recently came to Blu Ray.
Screening attendees got a rare chance to hear about the making of the film from "Cooley High" screenwriter Eric Monte and cast members Glynn Turman and Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, who played Preach and Cochise, in a post-screening conversation moderated fittingly by "Hollywood Shuffle"…
