Cultural Effects
In the novel Warpath, by Jeffry Scott Hansen, the street gang, The Six-Mile Syndicate, is based loosely on The Chambers Brothers gang. In the 1991 film, New Jack City, the character, Nino Brown, is largely based on, and influenced by, the real life Detroit gang The Chambers Brothers. Brown had also made a name for the group as "Cash Money Brothers". Also, The Chambers Brothers and family members: Randy Bridgeforth, Terrance Stewart, Damion "D.D." Bridgeforth, and Anthony King, were known for having their own apartment building to move their drugs on E. Ferry Street in Detroit; in New Jack City, it was known as "The Carter".

Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or effects:
“Barbarisation may be defined as a cultural process whereby an attained condition of high value is gradually overrun and superseded by elements of lower quality.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“If I had any doubts at all about the justice of my dislike for Shakespeare, that doubt vanished completely. What a crude, immoral, vulgar, and senseless work Hamlet is. The whole thing is based on pagan vengeance; the only aim is to gather together as many effects as possible; there is no rhyme or reason about it.”
—Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910)
