    The Color Purple is undeniably Black history in Hollywood and will be making an appearance on the big screen for its 35- year anniversary.

    What We Know:

    • The movie, directed by Steven Spielberg, starred celebrities like Danny Glover and Whoopi Goldberg, and was actually the debut film for Oprah Winfrey.
    • The film was adapted from the Pulitzer Prize Novel written by Alice Walker in 1982.
    • The Color Pruple was very successful upon the original debut 35 years ago, receiving 11 Oscar nominations.
    • The fictional story is embedded in the minds and hearts of so many Black people who have been influenced by the production.
