FROM AMERICAN GANGSTER TO GREAT DEBATER, WHICH ONE YOU WANT?
I am pleased Denzel Washington is also doing a movie, "The Great Debaters" that can be inspiration to African Americans who are sick of being portrayed as violent or lazy in the media.

"From two-time Academy Award winner Denzel Washington and an ensemble cast lead by Washington that includes Academy Award® winner Forest Whitaker, comes "The Great Debaters." Inspired by a true story, "The Great Debaters" chronicles the journey of Professor Melvin Tolson (Denzel Washington), a brilliant but volatile debate team coach who uses the power of words to shape a group of underdog students from a small African American college in the deep south into a historically elite debate team. A controversial figure, Professor Tolson challenged the social mores of the time and was under constant fire for his unconventional and ferocious teaching methods as well as his radical political views."
