In a week where a suburban Philadelphia private swim club was in the headlines for denying access to African-American children, the lessons contained within “Do The Right Thing” continue to resonate. To mark the film’s 20^th anniversary, director and Morehouse grad Spike Lee and castmates Bill Nunn and Joie Lee were among the celebs at a screening and party held Saturday night at the Fox Theatre.

Two decades after its release, the powerful film has lost none of its punch (even though the large boom box that ignites a riot and a fatality in the movie has been largely replaced in the new millennium by the smaller less communal iPod).

Following the screening, CNN anchor T.J. Holmes moderated a Q&A session with the cast (questions were taken from both audience members and culled from CNN’s Facebook page).

Among the celebs spotted in the crowd: “Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail” actress Keshia Knight Pulliam and director Kenny Leon.
