This film is also a faded memory to me. I believe I have the correct film. I remember this film being about a guy who was from the hood and became a civic activist. He was in love with a woman who did not have an appreciation for his cause. She was a successful singer or actress, I believe. The activist worked hard to get his friends to see a better side of life. Morgan Freeman was the only concrete part of this film that I remember. He played a friend of the activist who eventually became an addict and commits suicide. The suicide scene is what I remember. Morgan was on the rooftop of a building. His friend, the activist, was trying to talk him down but to no avail. Morgan jumps off the rooftop. The activist and his girl get together at the end of the movie. This movie really reminds me of Mahogany.
