After listening to this sound bite, I see how segregation is still an issue in some parts of America. The school is Mississippi was still having segregated proms even though segregation was illegal. Hearing about this surprised me because I thought that there was no more segregation in any American schools. The school was integrated, yet the prom was not. A student who was interviewed even said that she thought it was strange. She stated that there were not many problems with racism in the school, yet they still had segregated proms. The student’s siblings attended a different school in the area which had an integrated prom, but her school did not. I found this to be very strange. The reason for the segregated proms was the parents though.
