The Great Debaters ...

Hi my Friends,

I just watched this great and enlightening movie called The Great Debaters. I'm telling you I LOVE IT, and I bet you will too. The story was so intense, deep and remarkable that I couldn't wait to share my experience with you.

The plot summary:

"Marshall, Texas, described by James Farmer, Jr. as "the last city to surrender after the Civil War," is home to Wiley College, where, in 1935-36, inspired by the Harlem Renaissance and his clandestine work as a union organizer, Professor Melvin Tolson coaches the debate team to a nearly-undefeated season that sees the first debate between U.S. students from white and Negro colleges and ends with an invitation to face Harvard University's national champions. The team of four, which includes a female student and a very young James Farmer, is tested in a crucible heated by Jim Crow, sexism, a lynch mob, an arrest and near riot, a love affair, jealousy, and a national radio audience."

Enjoy these videos, and for those who haven't seen the movie yet do what you have to do to watch it.

"When the nation was in need, he inspired them to give us hope."
The Great Debaters

Take care
