7:30 ~ Black in America presents: THE GREAT DEBATERS

Denzel Washington is more known as an actor, but over the span of four movies as a director, he’s explored stories of black figures overcoming and fighting for something better, The Great Debaters being one of them. Set in 1930’s Texas, the movie explores the debate team of Wiley College and their lives fighting to gain legitimacy against white colleges in the South. Led by Washington the movie stars Forest Whittaker, Kimberly Elise, Jurnee Smollett, and a young Glen Powell.
