I remember it was a movie from the Civil Rights period. I don't remember the title but I remember it involved a black FBI agent (or something like it) investigating some kind of crime. The only bit of it I remember is that a racist old white guy slaps the federal agent then gets bitch-slapped in return and that apparently caused a big fuss.
