Story about a debaters team in Texas back in the 1930’s starring Denzel Washington and Forest Whitaker.

A drama based on the true story by Melvin B. Tolson, 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

The  movie follows the professor and his students all the way from the beginning until the end at Harvard. During this time the students face some horrific scenes about racism. I was personally quite shocked to find out what went on in the US between white and black people.. I really recommend this movie to everyone!
