"These days, it's all too easy to overlook what [Spike Lee]... has accomplished during the past two decades. But there's ample evidence to back up the notion that Lee is a pioneer, an artist whom noted Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. likens to 'the Jackie Robinson of the film community.'

"Nineteen years after becoming a cause celebre with his debut feature film, She's Gotta Have It, the prolific moviemaker is still waiting to hit one out of the park. Even his best-known films have polarized film critics; and despite two nominations, Lee has yet to hear his name called out on Oscar night."
