Grambling’s White Tiger

Grambling's White Tiger is a 1981 TV movie based on the true story of Jim Gregory (played by Bruce Jenner). Gregory was the first white quarterback of the Grambling Tigers at a historically black college in Louisiana. Harry Belafonte made his TV-movie debut as the legendary Grambling coach Eddie Robinson. LeVar Burton (already famous from Roots and later to be known for Reading Rainbow and Star Trek: The Next Generation) appears as Charles 'Tank' Smith, the first friend Jim Gregory makes on the team. The script was adapted from My Little Brother is Coming Tomorrow, the white-on-black saga of quarterback Jim Gregory's rise to fame. "Grambling's White Tiger" is a sports classic that fans of American football still love today.
