The character that comes to mind when I think about African American actors/actresses is Wood Harris, who played Julius Campbell in the movie Remember the Titans. No matter what, he always had the most heart on the team. When he was faced with tough challenges, he would give his all to overcome these challenges. As mentioned earlier by the many authors, African Americans faced harsh times with no freedom and justice. This is how it was at the beginning when the blacks and whites were integrated together into one high school. All of the white people were protesting and holding signs because they did not want black people in their schooling system because they did not think it was right. The football team had to come together because they were a team so they had to learn how to accept it. Julius went through a lot to make friends with Gary Bertier and he did not care that people did not think this was right. Gary's mom did not want Gary to hang around with Julius because he was black but Gary went against her rules and Gary and Julius ended up becoming the best of friends before Gary died. Julius never stopped his fight to make it right between the two races and make peace.
