An amazing movie about the rise of African Americans in the United States and the formation of their place in the United States of America.

It tells a story of Melvin B. Tolson, Professor at Wiley College, in Texas in the 1930's, who inspires and challenges his debate team, consisting of one woman and three young men, who go on a winning streak. They become the first team to be invited by Harvard University to a debate. A first debate between Negros and Anglo-Saxon Americans.
