Remember The Titans Diversity

Have you ever felt like you don't belong even though it's where you are supposed to be? In the film Remember the Titans the director Boaz Yakin’s shows how the football team felt that same way. Yakins showed how they got over it throughout coming together to build a community, through unity, acceptance, and through self-fulfillment. When the titans built their sense of community all the team players showed a different side to the other teammates, as the team was becoming more accepted and the team started to feel self-fulfilled.

With the Titans working on coming together during training camp a sense of community is already being established as the team must find a way to work together. One time Gerry and Julius really bonded at camp was

At Gerry’s funeral, you can see that unity is there as Sheryl points out “People say that it can't work between black and white, while here we make it work every day, we have our disagreements of course, but before we reach for hate always, always remember the titans.” That even when death happens unity is unity and it doesn’t go away no matter how long.
