1930's America: black people are discriminated and linched. Four students at Wiley College decide to participate in the debate team. They go through difficulties such as losing a member and witnessing a linch scene while traveling - the shock breaks their heart; debating suddenly seems useless. But a letter finally invites them to Harvard.
"If today is not the day, when is it? Tomorrow? Next week? Or never? If there is a time for equality, it is always, always now."
"What did the nigger do (to be linched)? Was he a thief? Was he a murderer? Or was he just a nigger? Was he a priest? Was he a farmer? Did he have children waiting for him to come back? He was linched and the law did nothing. It just left us wondering why. An unjust law is not a law. We have the right and duty to resist, either by violence or by disobedience. You should pray that we choose the latter."
