Diversits]y in Remember The Titans

In the film Remember The Titans, African American football coach is sent to Virginia to take over as Head Coach of a All League team and lead into the summer practice with a new team that will be segregated for the first time in a High School. As he arrives he is put into the black side of the community in a nice home above average, and once trying to get into the school and learn everything about it, he finds out he took the head coaching job form a coach who has been there for many years, and raising a daughter. The new coach Denzel Washington had asked many of the previous coaches to stay and help out in the new season but many disagreed and left. Even the players took manners into their own hands of the previous coach, by even threatening to quit the team and fight some of the other African American teammates. Summer ball took place and Denzel Washington was able to convince the previous head coach to come back and assist the team as multiple positions. Denzel Washington had set up a new team but there still was trouble in the team and leading into Hell Week it created changes both good and bad.

As hell week began all the team said goodbye to their families for a week where they were to begin hell week and live with two whites and two blacks in every single dorm. At first they noticed nobody would talk to each other even on the field starters would not defend the other if they were not the same race as them and it led to fights on and off the field. Denzel punished the team with late night runs, conditioning, and organizing seats for them to sit together. Some whites didnt even care about the race and got along, but it took a while for the entire team to get along and by the end of hell week everybody on the team looked past their race and got along as brothers. Throughout the season they got much crap as they were a diverse team going off against all white and all blacks schools, coaches, players, students from the town were targeted by many just cause the team was diverse. The influence this team had of whites and blacks getting along brought many together, it influenced many schools and people, as the season concluded there were still people who did not accept this blacks and whites getting along but it didnt matter, they were a team, both coaches and players created something that will be remembered in history.
