This movie was about a black college and a debate team.
A 14 year old college student joins this debate team and gets on.
Tolson is not only a ferocious coach but also a political firebrand who runs afoul of the local sheriff for his organizing of the mixed-race Southern Tenant Farmers Union. But whether Tolson is teaching or organizing, Mr. Washington imbues him with the authority of a persuasive orator and a moral Rock of Gibraltar.
Later, Tolson, driving home from a debate with his students, comes upon a lynching. The flashes of the hideous atrocity sear your mind, and when the mob, still riled with blood lust, chases the car, your heart is in your throat. Afterward, Henry’s shame and stifled fury drive him to a self-destructive spree.
The debat team had gone through alot to finally get to were they are now. They mailed a letter to harvord to try and compete with them, and when they sent that letter to them they didnt loss a match. Harvord finally agreed to play them.
