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:
“The rumor of a great city goes out beyond its borders, to all the latitudes of the known earth. The city becomes an emblem in remote minds; apart from the tangible export of goods and men, it exerts its cultural instrumentality in a thousand phases.”
—In New York City, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“One of the effects of a safe and civilised life is an immense oversensitiveness which makes all the primary emotions somewhat disgusting. Generosity is as painful as meanness, gratitude as hateful as ingratitude.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
