As we continue working on our nonconformist research project this week, we begin a powerful film entitled Glory Road. The film explores the true story of the 1966 Texas Western College basketball team, and their journey to fight racism through sports.
Don Haskins, the coach of this remarkable team, makes some unpopular decisions which will prove to go beyond the basketball court and still cause powerful emotions and analysis today. As we view the film, we'll discuss other real-life application of being a nonconfromists, and we'll also do some background reading on Don Haskins and the Texas Western basketball squad.
I can't wait to learn more about your chosen nonconformist, too!
(See the links in the post, below, for two important documents as we view the film.)
