The Ernest Green Story
In 1957, three years after the court-ordered integration of America's schools, Ernest Green (Morris Chestnut) enrolls with eight other African-American students in all-white Little Rock Central High School. The National Guard initially prevents them from entering, but soon the students begin class. Physics teacher Mr. Loomis (Gary Grubbs) is determined to prevent Ernest from passing, but with diligent study and the support of his family, Ernest perseveres.
