I encourage you to visit http://www.TheRealGreatDebaters.com to learn the real story behind The Great Debaters, starring Denzel Washington. Inspired by the critically acclaimed Hollywood film The Great Debaters, the new documentary film The Real Great Debaters of Wiley College unveils the true story of Wiley College's 1935 debate team and their astonishing defeat of the reigning national champions. The film, recently completed by the Dallas-based AMS Pictures, premiered to an enthusiastic audience at the Urbanworld Film Festival in New York City in October.

Even if you think you know your African American history, you still will find new insights from this film, including little known facts about the contributions of the original debaters to the Civil Rights Movement, the Headstart program and the many other initiatives such as Affirmative Action that have played an important role in the struggle for social justice.
