It talks about how Bill Yoast was the real life hero that changed the struggles of black and white high school football athletes to create a championship season in racially charged Alexandria, Virginia, in 1972. The plots and characters are the same in the movie and the book. Much of the movie’s dialogue is taken directly from the book.

Remember the Titans: Reaffirming Gender Expectations Disney's Remember the Titans (2000) depicts the first season Herman Boone serves as head football coach of the T.C. Williams Titans in Alexandra, Virginia.

Therefore, a majority of Americans are aware of the racial divide and civil rights movement that took place during this time period.

For my primary source proposal, I would like to use the film We Are Marshall. This movie directed by Joseph McGinty Nichol was released on December 22, 2006. The PG film is based off of the true story of what happened to the small town of Huntington, West Virginia in 1970. On November 14, 1970, the Marshall University Thundering Herd football team lost a nail biting game to East Carolina University Pirates, 17-14.
