The Remember the Titans episode explores leadership themes, racial tensions, and community transformation through the lens of this iconic sports movie featuring Denzel Washington.
• Sports movies powerfully utilize the underdog narrative to touch on deeper social issues
• Coach Boone and Coach Yost represent different leadership styles—visionary versus pastoral
• Leaders can't divorce their identity from their leadership style and effectiveness
• Breaking down barriers between players required confronting historical roots of conflict
• True friendships develop when people allow themselves to be influenced before influencing others
• Winning created momentum that helped transform community attitudes about integration
• The true test of change came when the community united during moments of tragedy
• Changing systems requires first changing people—but not everyone, just the right people
• Your personal story can impact community transformation beyond your individual narrative
