As a child going to the movies with my parents to see the first Shaft movie

I wanted to share my condolences late to Mr Richard Roundtree. I was an 11 year old boy when Shaft came out. My father was stationed in Spain for the Air Force. The preview of Shaft said " if you want to see it, you better ask yo momma". I did get to see it, and was influenced seeing a super hero of a black man, doing the right thing against evil. Thank you for being a mentor with that role and otherS. RIP
