Check out this preview of the documentary Prom Night In Mississippi – a story stemming from an offer from an Academy Award winning actor, that made a historic impact at a high school in the southern state.
In 1997, Morgan Freeman offered to pay for the senior prom at Charleston High School under one condition: the prom had to be racially integrated. After that offer was ignored, Freeman returned eleven years later and the school board accepted. Charleston High School had its first-ever integrated prom in 2008 (until then, blacks and whites had separate proms).
The documentary follows students, teachers, and parents as they lead up to the big day – which, doesn’t come without much opposition in a town where deep rooted racism is still planted. Prom Night in Mississippi premieres @ 9PM ET/PT on Monday, July 20th on HBO.

For this edition of ‘Who Rock’d It Better’ we have raptress Trina and singer Ciara rocking the same sequined blue mini skirt.
Ciara wore it last month for Rap Up Magazine’s 4th Anniversary party and Trina wore it while filming her new video with Rick Ross this week. Take your pick…
Rihanna wears Love/Hate Convertible Chain sunglasses in black as she leaves Philippe Chow restaurant in NYC. The singer was carrying a Balenciaga Brilliant Pouchette Bague and rocked Giuseppe Zanotti For Balmain Fall 09′ Boots with her J Brand ripped skinny jeans.
Rihanna caught some fire from authorities last week after she was spotted tattooing without a license. She apparently did three tattoos that evening – including one on her personal tattoo artist Bang Bang – with a umbrella on his lower leg at his shop.
