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.

Who remembers watching Soul Man? What did you think of the film?
