BACKGROUND
TO THE MOVIE INSERT:
We have featured Apostle Pride Sibiya’s background voice over the movies clips The
Express (also known as The Express: The Ernie Davis Story.) The story of Ernie
Davis is a very inspiring story that every person who wants to be a legends
must watch. Born into poverty, Ernie Davis overcomes many
obstacles to get into Syracuse University's football program. Under the guidance
of Coach Ben Schwartzwalder, Davis becomes one of the school's best players,
even surpassing Jim Brown's achievements. In 1961 Davis becomes the first black player to win the Heisman Trophy, but there is one more
obstacle in his life that he must overcome…

| Your Story Has Already Been Written - Before I Formed You In Your Mother's Womb. |
Ernie Davis (Rob Brown) is a young African American
growing up in Pennsylvania with his same-age uncle Will Davis Jr. (Nelsan
Ellis), in the late 1940s during a time of racism and discrimination. Davis
lives with his extended family, including his grandfather, Willie 'Pops' Davis
(Charles S. Dutton), who guides and educates him. Davis' mother, Marie Davis
(Aunjanue Ellis), eventually returns to their residence to inform the family
that she has remarried and can now afford to raise Ernie at her own home in
Elmira, New York. Upon relocating to Elmira, Davis enrolls in a Small Fry
Football League and excels on the field as a running back.
Several years later, Syracuse University football head
coach Ben Schwartzwalder (Dennis Quaid) searches for a running back to address
the absence of Jim Brown (Darrin Dewitt Henson), the graduating player
completing his All-American senior season. Schwartzwalder is impressed with
Davis after viewing footage of him playing for Elmira Free Academy.
Schwartzwalder convinces Brown to accompany him on a recruiting visit to see Davis
and his family in hopes of luring him to sign with Syracuse. After their visit,
Davis decides to enroll at Syracuse and spurns the recruiting efforts of other
colleges.
At the start of the 1959 college football season, Davis
immediately excels playing for the varsity team, to lead Syracuse to victories
over several college football teams. After Syracuse defeats UCLA to conclude
the regular season undefeated, the team decides by choice to play the 2nd
ranked Texas Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl Classic. During the game on January
1, 1960, Davis boldly attempts to lead his team to victory but is hampered by
an injured leg and biased officiating. Towards the end of the game, Davis
scores a crucial touchdown to preserve a Syracuse lead. The matchup concludes with
a victory for Syracuse, and its first national championship.
In 1961, Davis goes on to win the Heisman Trophy
following his senior season in college. He later becomes a professional athlete
in the National Football League and signs a contract with the Cleveland Browns.
Later however, following a series of health concerns, Davis is taken to a
hospital to undergo medical testing. During a routine practice session, team
owner Art Modell (Saul Rubinek) informs Davis he will be unable to play the
upcoming season due to his condition. Subsequently, Davis holds a press
conference and announces he has been diagnosed with leukemia. The Cleveland
Browns honor Ernie by allowing him to suit up in uniform and join the team
while running out before a televised game.
The film's epilogue displays a series of graphics stating
that Davis died on May 18, 1963 at the age of 23; while in condolence,
President Kennedy expresses sympathy for Davis' fine character as a citizen and
an athlete. YOUR STORY HAS ALREADY BEEN
WRITTEN.
