I saw the movie today and I enjoyed it, definitely a must see! I also did a little background research and it turns out that they actually debated against USC and won not Harvard. I found a nice article about one of the main characters, civil rights leader James Farmer Jr. Farmer was part of the "Big Four."

It also turns out that Alpha Phi Alpha Brother Dr. Hobart Jarrett was apart of that debate team during that time.
