This movie doesn't reflect the truth about what happened at T.C. Williams high school during that time period. I went to T.C. from 1968-1971 and this movie was complete *beep*. Many former Titans share that opinion, especially those of us who were there at the time.

T.C. was built to bridge the racial gap between George Washington HS and Francis Hammond HS. GW was primarily black, Hammond very white.

Yea, yea, yea, it's Hollywood, but damn, change the history to create a role for Denzel Washington? Yes, we were offended.
