Overcoming Prejudices
--On and Off the Field--
In the movie, Remember the Titans, a new head coach for the Titans, an organized football team in Virginia during the very harsh and prejudicial times in the 1950s, is assigned to coach the recently integrated team of both Caucasians and Blacks. ... The freshly healed wound (racism and prejudice) opens once again, when Coach Boone gets a brick in his window, and a threat that he will lose his job if his Titans lose even one game. ... Slowly, with the help of the Titans’ scores, the town learns a lesson about fear, ignorance and prejudice.
One of the many good things about Remember the Titans is that the movie is using football to tell a more important story; The story about centuries of fighting for equality of race and against prejudices.
