Last week, at the Walter Reade Theater in New York City, director Spike Lee and members of the cast and crew relived memories of the critically acclaimed film during a discussion held by ImageNation Cinema Foundation.

In attendance were Rosie Perez, John Turturro, John Savage, Monty Ross, Ernest Dickerson, Frankie Faison, Richard Edson, Malcolm Lee, Roger Guenveur Smith, Malinda Williams and husband D-Nice, and Dennis White.

The event kicked off with Chuck D of Public Enemy, who performed the hit song 'Fight The Power,' followed by a screening and then a Q and A with Spike and the cast.

It's the hottest day of the year in the predominantly black neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant, in Brooklyn, N.Y. The only local businesses are a Korean grocery and Sal's Pizzeria. Mookie (played by Lee), Sal's delivery boy, manages to be at the center of the action as racial tension grow high.

'Do The Right Thing' garnered many awards during its release, including an Oscar nomination for Spike Lee for best original screenplay.
