If you have not seen the Movie Prom Night Missisippi-put it on your to-do list. Can you imagine segregated proms in the year 2008? This is exactly what was happening in the small town of Charleston. White students had a parent sponsored prom and Black students had their own prom for many years...until someone made a difference.
Morgan Freeman, esteemed and Academy award winning actor offered the school board an opportunity to have a prom all expense paid if they allowed an integrated event. If you want to know what happens from here-check it out. I hate ruining the movie. What I will share with you is that this documentary is thought-provoking and interesting.
I would love to hear your comments if you have already seen it. Let's stand up to injustice in the same way that Mr. Freeman did. When you know something is not right-take steps to make it better and make sure those steps are positive.
-Read something great!
