To Sir, With Love
Guess who's coming to dinner

---

We were assigned to read "To sir, with love" in 8th grade. The day after we all get our copies and take them home for the first reading assignment, One of the parents freaked out and demanded that the book get pulled from the classroom because it wasnt appropriate for kids our age. The school gave in, the book was pulled and the teacher just stopped giving a crap. And all of the kids were just confused as to what had just happened. They didn't tell us why it was pulled just that we were now going to read the hobbit.

I found out why it was pulled when my teacher mother called to ask what happened to the original book I was assigned.


That was in the 80s.

The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings
A Soldier's Story
Glory

Not sure if these actually fits the catagory
Stir Crazy
The Difiant Ones

Forgot about this one, really unknown but a big deal when it first hit theatres: Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song
Main guys son did a 2003 movie about the story of making the original.

Coming To America
