Midnight
Even in 1995...
This has to be the earliest example of woke in Hollywood I can think of. The whole plot revolves around a black deadbeat drug addict (Hallie Berry) that throws her baby in the dumpster to get more crack when a garbage truck comes and nearly crushes her baby. Then the baby gets adopted by a loving family who happened to be white (the worst sin in this kind of movie), so naturally the mother takes them to court to try and get her son back and the movie tries to frame it as though Berry is entitled to have her son back due to her skin color. The whole movie is atrociously woke during a time where they were almost nonexistent.
