An HBO documentary remembers the attack and murder of a 16-year-old Black boy at the hands of white teenagers and the surrounding racial conflict of 1980s New YorkA somber march down the mean side of Memory Lane, “Yusuf Hawkins: Storm Over Brooklyn” includes recollections that will dismay, or break one’s heart, and sometimes do both.
“He didn’t look like a thug or anything,” recalls the first emergency medical technician on the scene after the 16-year-old was fatally shot on the streets of Bensonhurst. The date was Aug., 23, 1989—“a Wednesday,” recalls a friend of Hawkins, Luther Sylvester, offering the kind of detail that only someone who lost someone he loved would probably still remember.
