Triumph: The Untold Story of Perry Wallace (2018)
Directed by Rich Gentile
Overview

However, Perry Wallace, the first black college athlete in the Southeast Conference, was a mere teenager who stood all alone at center court in such hotbeds of rabid racism as Starkville, Mississippi and Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
