  • And finally the always brilliant Mark Anthony Neal provides some observations and contextualizes the history behind the film The Great Debaters . I recently saw the film and loved it. I highly recommend that folks go and see it. Mark makes some great points in his post and it may contain spoilers for folks who haven't seen the film. But I think the historical points are reallly important to note and keep in mind. Folks who may not know the actual history may come away from the film thinking that things happened when they actually didn't. Check out Mark's post here:
