Rest in peace, Bill Nunn. 🕊️
A beloved American actor, Bill Nunn left behind an unforgettable legacy through his memorable performances in film, television, and theater.
He was best known for portraying Radio Raheem in Spike Lee’s critically acclaimed film Do the Right Thing. His powerful performance, particularly the iconic “Love and Hate” speech, became one of the most memorable moments in the movie.
Beyond that role, Nunn was widely recognized for playing Joseph “Robbie” Robertson, the Daily Bugle editor, in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, starring alongside Tobey Maguire. He also appeared in popular films such as New Jack City, Sister Act, Regarding Henry, Mo’ Better Blues, He Got Game, The Legend of 1900, and Runaway Jury.
On television, he was known for playing Terrence “Pip” Phillips in The Job and Cash in the comedy series Sirens. He also appeared in Chicago Hope, The X-Files, and The District.
Throughout his career, Nunn became a respected character actor, particularly through his collaborations with filmmaker Spike Lee. He also supported young performers through the Bill Nunn Theatre Outreach Project, helping bring theater opportunities to students in Pittsburgh.
Born October 20, 1953, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Bill Nunn passed away on September 24, 2016, at the age of 62, following a battle with leukemia.
Though he is gone, his unforgettable performances and the characters he brought to life will continue to entertain and inspire audiences for generations to come.
Thank you for the memorable performances, the iconic characters, and the lasting legacy you left behind, Bill Nunn.
Rest easy. You will never be forgotten. 🕊️

They murdered Martin Luther King Jr.’s mom a few years after his assassination, while she was playing the organ during Sunday service, but McGraw Hill somehow left that out of the history book.

MF DOOM died from being administered an incorrectly high dose of an ACE inhibitor, a medication known to cause angioedema in Black patients at three times the rate of white/caucasian patients. Then he was shoved into a storage closet and forgotten about. RIP.

Techno was created by a Black American named Juan Atkins from Detroit. Techno was NOT created in Berlin like many seem to think. RIP to this phenomenal Pioneer!
Rest in Peace Juan Atkins “the godfather of techno.” His unconventional sounds became the blueprint for an entire new genre of music, influencing generations of producers, DJs and record labels, like ours.
“I don’t know how you can love music and be close-minded... Life would be boring if you just adhered to the same protocol every day, so there are guys like me out there championing the cause for different and alternative ways of life and listening to music.” Juan Atkins
