Without knowledge, a desire would remain a desire since it would not be possible to choose and act out the appropriate attempt to fulfill it. “The Great Debaters” showed what knowledge could do to fulfill desires. The desire in this movie was to show that racism is wrong, and trying to find the righteous mind. The debate’s team’s goal was to not to win, but to bring awareness to America that all men are equal and therefore discriminating against one’s race is wrong. The challenges that Mr. Tolson and his student’s faced made them stronger as a result, and made them want to achieve their desires even more.
