      abstract = {In 1997, actor Morgan Freeman, a resident of the small  town of Charleston, Miss., offered to pay for the senior  prom at Charleston High School under one condition: the  prom must be racially integrated. His offer was ignored. In  2008 he offered again, and the offer was accepted, changing  the tradition of two separate proms for blacks and whites  that had endured since the high school was integrated in  1970. Shows the problems and lessons learned as the event  was planned and held. With comments from Morgan Freeman,  students, and others. Intended to explore attitudes of  racial intolerance that still persist today. In 2008,  Charleson High School had 415 students, 70% black and 30%  white.},
