The Great Debaters é um filme que se passa em Marshall, Texas, descrito por James Farmer, Jr. como "a última cidade a se render após a Guerra Civil". A história se passa na Wiley College, onde, em 1935-36, o Professor Melvin Tolson, inspirado pelo Renascimento de Harlem e seu trabalho clandestino como organizador sindical, treina a equipe de debate para uma temporada quase imbatível.
A equipe de quatro membros, que inclui uma estudante mulher e um jovem James Farmer, é testada em um ambiente marcado por Jim Crow, sexismo, um linchamento, uma prisão e quase um motim, um caso de amor, ciúmes e uma audiência nacional de rádio.
O filme culmina com o primeiro debate entre estudantes brancos e negros de faculdades dos EUA e um convite para enfrentar os campeões nacionais da Universidade de Harvard.
