The Great Debaters - Trailers
Posted Nov 06, 2007A drama based on the true story of Melvin B. Tolson (Denzel Washington), a professor at Wiley College Texas. In 1935, he inspired students to form the school's first debate team, which went on to challenge Harvard in the national championship.
Films like this get released every few years, and I doubt I'll ever get sick of them. It reminds me why I'm so proud of my people. Sometimes I wish I lived back 80 years ago to be a part of that history as terrifying and challenging as it would be. In someways it's less terrifying than living today when everything seems very gray, with defined lines growing more smudged with every passing year.
