Go Out and See This Movie-Stop Funding Foolishness & Start Funding Respect-The Great Debaters!



To take a page from the What About Our Daughters mantra-Stop funding foolishness and start funding respect. I have been hearing some real positive buzz about Denzel's next celluloid effort (courtesy of Harpo productions), The Great Debaters-a period piece set in the 30s centered around Melvin B. Tolson, while at Wiley College created an African -American debate team that bested Harvard in the 1935 national championships. And concerning the aforementioned "buzz," let's make sure that the buzz rings as loud as a church bell by assuring that the Debaters becomes the number one movie when it opens this Christmas. Now if we can only get that African-American sci-fi picture made-perhaps Black to the Future?
