Storyline, Remember The Titans (2000):
Suburban Virginia schools have been segregated for generations, in sight of the Washington Monument over the river in the nation's capital. One Black and one White high school are closed and the students sent to T.C. Williams High School under federal mandate to integrate. The year is seen through the eyes of the football team where the man hired to coach the Black school is made head coach over the highly successful white coach. Based on the actual events of 1971, the team becomes the unifying symbol for the community as the boys and the adults learn to depend on and trust each other.by John Vogel
In the early 1970s, two schools in Alexandria Virginia integrate forming T.C. Williams High School. The Caucasian head coach of the Titans is replaced by an African American coach from North Carolina. Tensions arise when players of different races are forced together on the same football team. Many of these tensions are eased during the two-week training camp in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. When players returned to Alexandria the players found the city in turmoil due to the forced desegregation of the high school. As the season progresses the team's success caused the community to accept the changes. After the Titans' perfect season, the team and the city were closer than ever.by WSU Honors ENG 102-13
Denzel Washington plays Herman Boone, who is hired as the T.C. Williams High football coach over a white coach in Alexandria, Virginia in the early 1970's during a time when the school has just been integrated to allow blacks into the school.
It's 1971 in Alexandria, Virginia and successful high school football coach Bill Yoast (Will Patton) has just been deprived of the head coaching job at the new integrated T.C. Williams High School to make way for equally successful black coach Herman Boone (Denzel Washington). Yoast debates pursuing opportunities elsewhere, but when most of his white players vow to sit out the season unless he coaches, he changes his mind and stays on as Boone's assistant. Throughout training camp and the season, Boone and Yoast's black and white players learn to accept each other, to work together, and that football knows no race. As they learn from each other, Boone and Yoast also learn from them and in turn, the whole town learns from the team, the Titans. Thus, they are prepared to pursue the State Championship and to deal with an unthinkable tragedy that threatens to sink their perfect season. Ryan Hurst, Wood Harris, Donald Faison, Ryan Gosling, Hayden Panettiere, and Kate Bosworth co-star.
This makes for a good story, but not totally true. Northern Virginia Schools, Which consisits of Arlington and Fairfax County, the Cities of Alexandria, Fairfax and Falls Church Schools were already intigrated when T.C. Williams HS was built and opened. Langley HS, McLean Va, (Home of the Langely Saxons) which opened in 1966 had the first Black / African American Football Coach Charles Price, who later went to Groveton HS after developing a successful football program at Langey. Other area high schools--McLean, George C.Marshall, Falls Church and Herndon high schools--already had integrated football and other types of sports teams in the late 1960s. When you get out of Northern Virginia into Loudoun and Prince William Counties, then yes, absolutely they were segregated and it got worse the further into the Shenandoah Valley and southern Virginia areas. One of the worse being Warren County, which was the last school system in Virginia to allow blacks in schools, most had to walk to other jurisdictions being denied education well into the late 60s and early 1970s. The specific factual occurances in the movie is not what it is about. The film is more of a compilation of the attitudes and actions, and over feel for integration area schools.
Although a lot of the scenes in the movie Remember the Titans are fictional or exaggerated, I feel that omissions of examples of what did or did not happen, other then the facts stated above, is unfair. It gives the impression that if the schools had been integrated for a while before the Titan's perfect season (which they were) then their wasn't a problem. This is not the case. Although many scenes and instances were pure fiction, for creative effect, there were problems. For example..."a brick WAS NOT thrown through Coach Boone's window", is a true, but unfair statement if left to stand alone. Because in fact, it was a toilet commode that was thrown through his window.
