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.
Check out the new Run’s House promo that we go exclusively. The new season is set to air Monday, June 15th on MTV. This will be the 6th season of the popular show and word is they will speak on Jojo’s recent arrest on Marijuana charges this season. Should be interesting.
