CAPFILM: Free Black History Month Series – REMEMBER THE TITANS
To commemorate Black History Month 2026, the Appell Center has collaborated with three prominent York County community members to curate an exclusive film series. Each feature portrays the struggles, triumphs and challenges faced by these historical individuals and in significant periods of time. They are stories that simply must be told and retold… stories that continue to influence those that experience them.
Admission to all three movies in the series is free for the community.
- The Six Triple Eight (Sun, 2/1) – curated and presented by Samantha L. Dorm, local historian
- Remember the Titans (Sun, 2/15) – curated and presented by Tavon Parker, The Advantage Program
- Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (Thu, 2/19) – curated and presented by TaTyana Abreu, United Way of York County
Each film screening will open with remarks by its curator, detailing why they think the movie should be shared with the York community, and how it has significantly impacted their lives.
REMEMBER THE TITANS
Academy Award winner Denzel Washington gives a victorious performance in this stirring and uplifting film. Based on a real-life drama, Remember the Titans is a rousing celebration of how a town torn apart by resentment, friction and mistrust comes together in triumphant harmony.
After leading his team to fifteen winning seasons, football coach Bill Yoast (Will Patton) is demoted and replaced by Harman Boone (Washington), tough opinionated and as different from the beloved Yoast as he could be. How these two men overcome their differences, and turn a group of hostile young men into champions, plays out in a remarkable triumphant story full of soul and spirit. No matter what, you will never forget the Titans.
