    Actually, Wiley did debate -- and beat -- Harvard in 1956.

    This is one of the best 'Well' put together movies I have seen in a while! The story was very articulate from beginning to the end. Can't wait to see it again and have promoted it to everyone that I come across of all racial barriers to put this on their top list of movies to see.

    Thanks for giving it the time to perfect it before releasing it, it has most definitely paid off!
