Anyone know of any black movies like this?

Anyone know of any movies with the same classic Americana, boys prep school tone as a School Ties, Dead Poets Society, or Rudy feel with predominantly african-american characters (not the great debaters)? I'm just curious. I feel like I've seen something to this effect before but for some reason I just can't seem to put my finger on it. I'm hoping I didn't just imagine it. Thanks.

I thought there were similarities between 'Rudy' and 'Remember the Titans'. Rudy being about the one individual overcoming great odds, and 'Remember the Titans' being about a team overcoming great obstacles and odds.
