Prom Night In Mississippi
- 15 years ago
In 1997, actor Morgan Freeman offered to pay for the senior prom at Charleston High School in Mississippi, on one condition: it had to be racially integrated. His offer was ignored.
Ten years later, Freeman offered again—and this time, the school board accepted.
Prom night in Mississippi premieres as a part of the HBO Documentary Films Summer series on Monday July, 20th at 9pm.
