Review of Prom Night in Mississippi (2009) by Evan S — 25 Jul 2009

An interesting documentary about the state of racism in a local Mississippi high school, and Morgan Freeman's plan to throw one mixed-race prom for the kids instead of having one prom for whites and one prom for blacks.

For the most part, it shows a sign of hope that this generation doesn't understand the necessity of the racism that has been passed down, and 98% of the kids are perfectly fine with one another. Of course there's always a couple of problems (parents) in the crowd who won't let go of their 19th century beliefs, but you do get the feeling that it actually might be subsiding along the way.
