ReplyDeleteThe article that my group had was about the racially segregated prom. A segregated prom wouldn't be weird if it were held in 1950, but when it is held in 2009, it causes concern. The 14th amendment was passed so no one of any race could be segregated against. When one race isn't allowed at a seperate prom, it needs to be fixed. The HBO documentary, Prom Night in Mississippi discusses how the problem arose, and how it was eventually fixed by Morgan Freeman.

ReplyDeleteHere's the paragraph that i forgot to submit...
ReplyDeleteThe articles that we studied in class were all about how segregation and integration developed throughout the years. We learned about the trial, a separated prom, schools that were shut down, and, Mississippi spies. The trial was about a white man who killed a black man, but was proven not guilty because it was an all white jury. The separated prom was about how, in 2009, a school down south still doesn’t have integrated proms, and the students were all for it, but their parents didn’t want it. Schools were shut down (from the article ‘Justice Delayed’) for 5 years rather than have white and black people sit next to each other. ‘Mississippi Spies’ was about a group of people, black and white, who were trying to stop integration by destroying integration committees and groups. They were also disruptive to anyone who wanted to integrate. This relates to life nowadays because it showed me how much discrimination there still is. The newest article we read, ‘A Prom Divided’ was in 2009! That was just last year! And nowadays, it’s not only just racism against African Americans, but also towards Jewish people, Asian people, and so many other races. The KKK is a well- known racist group, and is also a great example of how dangerous racism can get.

ReplyDeleteIn class, we discussed the Mississippi Spies, who spied on meetings for the Civil Rights movement. Some select schools even closed down, in order to stay segregated. In other words, they wanted only whites in their schools, or only blacks. These people were greedy and were on the highest level of racist. We all know how it is to be discriminated, but these people lived this role, 24/7. There was no changing of the white people's ways, and this video describes what these people went through when the Civil Rights Movement was passed.

ReplyDeleteIn my video, it shows how black and white people were treated differently, but how one brave town in Mississippi over-came segregation and wanted to stick out, making a huge impact in history. Since segregated proms weren’t uncommon in the 1950’s, they really stuck out. Thanks to Morgan Freeman, he had made a step, just like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, into today’s world. Thanks to the film, Prom Night in Mississippi, we can now appreciate people like him.

ReplyDeleteI didn't think there was still strong racism in the world today. When I first learned about the prom night in Mississippi, I didn't understand the reason for two proms because it just doesn't come up in the world today. You don't go outside and see a sign pointing to which direction whites can go and which direction blacks can go. It didn't make any sense. Then I found out it was really the whites parent decision. I thought 'Why do they get to call the shots? They're not even associating themselves with these innocent colored kids.' It's not any ones decision, it's almost like a law of just being human. Everyone should be treated equally not based on race, religion, or color. It reminded me of almost like a click in school. One sits at one table and one sits at a totally separate table. If you try to sit with a new click they just shun you. Even though that doesn't happen in our school, it does happen in the movies and in other schools. People just hold grudges because of no reason. They might just go along what their ancestors though about other people, or maybe even their parents and what they did during those judgmental years. People make up their whole perspectives about someone based on a simple color or what holidays they celebrate. It should all be equal and the only way we can change that, is to do something about it.
