The Story of Gerald Ford, Willis Ward and the 1934 Michigan-Georgia Tech Football Game
Black and Blue Synopsis
When Georgia Tech came to Michigan in 1934, the Wolverines were forced to bench their best play, Willis Ward, because he was an African-American.

The friendship that began in the Big House lasted all the way to the White House. This is the story of two schools, two friends, and a game that changed everything.
