James Farmer Jr's closing remarks at Harvard speech, I cried! When all the people present stood up and the applause resounded throughout the auditorium, I saw the light of the national liberation of black people and the continuous improvement of the status of black people.
Indeed, it is not the judge who judges who wins or loses, but justice.
Black people's awareness of self-rights is constantly improving, and the nation is constantly awakening. They used the debate to...

(2009.10.12) I feel that the final battle with Harvard, as the most important one, still seems too short to be enjoyable. Some lines are very flavorful, and the power of fierce debate may lie in how much it can inspire people.
Who is the judge?
The judge is God.
Why is he God?
Because he decides who wins or loses. Not my opponeent.
Who is your opponent?
He does not exist.

Inspirational film that makes blood boil
It was recommended to me by a friend. To be honest, when I first started watching it from the perspective of listening to exercise, I didn't expect it to be so shocking.
Everyone has their own dreams, but it's up to you to stick to them. On the road to the ideal, there are always various problems that plague us. In this movie, there are countless problems that we can't imagine, but they all overcame them one by one, persisted, and finally Got the world's attention.

This kind of struggle is needed in today's social life
I always like to look for those old movies, those that many others have seen and commented on, because such movies are generally classics, and they contain great ideas and can arouse deep spiritual resonance or produce self-stimulation. debates, they will never appear outdated over time. In this regard, The Great Debater did not disappoint me.
In the film, several black students used their own language as a weapon to fight against white bullying and discrimination, and in the end, they...

There has always been prejudice in the past. There are very few good films with all black casts. I don't know if this is racist... But this one is definitely another matter. Denzel Washington and Forest Whitaker are two acting superstars co-starring , adapted from a true story, and what's even more awesome is that this film is directed by Denzel...

The sentence at the end "and you should please we chose the latter" is impeccable! I like debates very much. Come on for more debate...
[Samantha just slapped Henry hard across the face]
Melvin B. Tolson: Resolved.

[Melvin Tolson]
Samantha: You're wrong, we can't win without him.
