as a mississippian, i feel the need to respond to this sort of post. miss has always been an explicit version of what is implicit nationally. that is, racist attitudes in miss. have been little different than those in other places. miss just didn’t hide them. read richard wright, who left miss. for chicago under the impression that things would be different. he found few changes and more of a silent or understood racism. miss. simply made known what was assumed or implied in the north.

I just got done watching this documentary and was VERY TOUCHED! I would like to say these kids where very brave, honest and very strong in what they believe in and able to bring there classmates together. It was hard to watch and understand what these kids and people go through. It is unfortunate that it took this long for all these kids to come together. It is shocking and disgusting that there are grown adults and parents who still have hatred and racism still exists like this.

It is unfortunate that it took this long for all these kids to come together and enjoy one last big moment in time there lives and i would hope the integrate prom continues.

You are absolutely correct.
I am a white woman who lived in PA most of her life but now live in TN. The racism of the South seems to be at a deeper level but racism is everywhere in this country & the entire world. I can’t understand it as I was not raised with those values or lack of. My friends are a very diverse group & my partner is not caucasian. Each time we talk about the issue of race, each time someone makes a movie such as this, we open more doors ….but we have lifetimes to go.

They are just trying to separate the white women from black men. If it wasn’t for that they wouldn’t care about the mixing. Parents just don’t understand the more you say no, the more they say yes.
