The Great Debaters

The movie, The Great Debaters, was viewed by all Vista students. A drama based on the true story of Melvin B. Tolson, a professor at Wiley College in Texas. In 1935, he inspired students to form a school debate team. Wiley College debate team defeated the reigning national debate champion, the University of Southern California. However, in the movie, the champions were depicted as Harvard University. This is a story that supports the movement toward civil rights.

In order to accommodate for our team special schedule, we did not meet for math class today. We will have a regular schedule for tomorrow.
