It is a longing to include photographs of the late civil rights leaders on a "wall of fame" in a pizza parlor run by an Italian that sparks a tragic racial confrontation.

Malcolm X, and the late Martin Luther King respond by destroying Sal's pizzeria. Lee does not set up a frenzied, random or reaction. Indeed, it is Mookie, a character who easily talks to everyone and who plays the role of peacekeeper, who casts the first stone. He is, as Malcolm X advised, doing whatever is necessary to fight racism. As Sal, the Italian who has run a business in a black neighborhood for 25 years, Aiello is splendid. Davis is endearing as the downtrodden Da Mayor, and his wife, Ruby Dee, has a wonderful character in Da Mayor's love interest, Mother Sister.
