Spike Lee's iconic film 'Do the Right Thing' celebrated its 35th anniversary on June 30 with a block party in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. The event, attended by many, including Spike Lee himself, was marked by positive energy despite the rain. The film, which initially faced criticism from some White critics who feared it would incite riots, has instead continued to provoke thought and inspire love over the years. Samuel L. Jackson, referencing his character from the film, also commemorated the anniversary.
