Denzel Washington and Oprah Winfrey are Great Debaters

Denzel Washington, Oprah Winfrey, Wesley Snipes, Jennifer Hudson and Samuel L. Jackson arrive at the MGM premiere of The Great Debaters held at the Arclight Cinerama Dome on Tuesday in Los Angeles, Calif.

The drama is based on the true story of Melvin B. Tolson, a professor at Wiley College in Texas. In 1935, he inspired students to form the school’s first debate team, which went on to challenge Harvard in the national championship.
