1989, the number, another summer! We get ready to fight the power with the (unnecessarily) controversial Spike Lee classic. It’s the hottest day of the year in Bed-Stuy and tensions are on the rise. Do the Right Thing is a complex, dirty, real look at race relations which is still painfully applicable today.
This episode was originally released February 17, 2020.
