On this day, October 24, 1986, Soul Man premiered in theaters. Starring C. Thomas Howell and Rae Dawn Chong, the controversial comedy followed the story of a white man who pretends to be Black in order to receive a scholarship. While the film drew attention for its cast and comedic moments, it was heavily criticized for its portrayal of race and has sparked debates over the years.
