Terrence Howard is one of ten children born to Anita & Tyrone, growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, before making it big in film & tv. He suffered abuse from school bullies and at the hands of his parents, and was taught to box at a young age by his uncle, in order to keep him from getting hurt.
But long before Terrence knew how to take his abusers down, and well long before he was famous, Terrence witnessed his father killed a man, while the two were waiting in line to see Santa Claus in 1971. Some say that the attack was racial motivated, while others say it was a misunderstanding with an unfortunate ending, but either way, the fight ended tragically.
