What was the Zora Neale Hurston quote at beginning of got to Have It?

The quote at the beginning of Spike Lee's *Do the Right Thing* (not *Got to Have It*) is by Zora Neale Hurston:

"I feel most colored when I am thrown against a sharp white background."

This quote is from Hurston's 1928 essay "How It Feels to Be Colored Me." It encapsulates the theme of racial identity and its relationship to social and cultural contexts.

In *Do the Right Thing*, the quote serves as a powerful opening statement that sets the stage for the film's exploration of race relations, prejudice, and the complexities of living in a racially diverse neighborhood.
