Summary Of One Night Two Proms

Before this week I would have never known they still had segregated proms any where in the United States. After watching the movie and hearing from the students, those who didn't really care for segregated proms and how they felt about having one prom. Showed that they were very open-minded individuals and didn't see the purpose for their parents though it is really sad. an honestly if the parents wanting segregated proms why wouldn't they just send their kids to seperate schools as well if they didn't want blacks to participate in their white only prom. Why seperate these students when they have been around the same kids probably since grade school. I was extremely surprised to see how many people were opposed to having an integrated prom,

This documentary was very informative. One of the several things I learned is how people form perceptions based off what they experience. For example, the children in the third-grade class felt they were more superior than other races because of what they had experienced throughout life. When the teacher asked them how they viewed black people, the children responded with hateful comments, this was a result of something they had heard or seen previously. During the experiment, I noticed how immediately the blue- eyed children felt some sense of power over the brown- eyed people because of what the teacher told them. Then on the next day they brown-eyed people felt superior. Not only did both sides experience discrimination, but collectively they learned that discrimination was not right. This was solely because the teacher taught them about discrimination. The scene that I think will stick with me is the scene after all the children had finished the experiment. In the end, the children experienced first-hand

As we celebrate Martin Luther King Day and Black History Month, Blacks have made huge strides although coming from a past of inequality. I wasn’t particularly interested in seeing Selma because I knew what it represented. I feared to cry and get emotional over the hardships of post-slavery and the battles of the Civil Rights Movement. I knew it was going to be gruesome to watch because of its vivid depiction of how our nation used to be and a touch of reality of how it continues to become.

My opinion of the race relations depicted on campus in the film is mixed. Compared to my experiences of being at college, the race issues at Winchester University appear drastic. However, the issues of race relations on campuses show in the media seem to be similar to the issues at Winchester, if not worse. The issue of separate housing for blacks seems strange to me. Relating to my personal experiences at TCNJ, I have never heard of/seen separate housing based on race because it promotes racial segregation. I have read that there are many black students that want separate housing at college but I think that will only revert people's behavior and views back to segregational times of oppression.

Part two of the documentary which was labeled as “High and Low” struck out to me the most. This part brought up issues that we can all for the most part say we have at least saw in our daily lives. This section also brought up some of the many struggles that African-Americans have to deal with every day. For example, two women brought up the point that the label “Bourgeois” is a constant problem within black America. If a black person works hard to make a lot of money, get a good education and become successful, the black

In my opinion these videos contain very haunting subject matter. After watching In the White Man’s Image it provided me a different perspective for understanding the plight of minorities today. Recently in the national media the shootings of Trayvon Martin, and Michael Brown, with fatal police encounters with Eric Garner and Sandra Bland, reveal how minorities still struggle for equality. Oftentimes, the media helps to legitimate the inequalities in class and race relations. African-Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans have been discriminated against for years, but with the crime in our communities and police shootings plastered across the media, they continue to perpetuate negative perceptions. We have seen movies where the Indians

After watching this movie I am quite proud of how far we have come with racial prejudice and segregation. In the film, I noticed many times that the African Americans were treated differently than the whites and that is not okay. Some examples of this included the coffee container that Katherine had to pour her coffee out of, the water fountain only blacks used, the library that Dorothy was kicked out of for being black, the bathroom she Katharine always ran to, and that the whole NASA campus was segregated. How unjust for Katherine to have to run half a mile just to go to the bathroom! This was portrayed especially well by adding rain to add to the “torrent” of emotion that this scene produced. However, where there is darkness this film sheds

The Blacklist, a feature documentary on HBO, delineates a group of phenomenal African-American celebrities, luminaries, and personalities that gave insight into their own personal struggles and accomplishments as black people. They also talked about their beliefs and desires as well as the people and encounters that influenced and fascinated them. I watched the video two times over in order to grasp the powerful and insightful concepts that the interviewees spoke on. It showed me that as people of color we all go through strikingly similar experiences and have similar desires, regardless of our popularity.

The situation I was surprised by the most was the amount of racism that came from the middle eastern man in the movie. Although I don’t agree with it, many white people are racists and that’s just the way it is. I would have thought that somebody like the middle eastern man who faces prejudice and racism against himself on a day to day basis would have more respect for people of other races, especially non-white races. He placed such a stereotype on the Hispanic man who tried to help him that he ended up looking the man up in the phone book and going to his house to shoot him after something had happened that was in no way the Hispanic mans fault. It was surprising that someone who understands what it feels like to be racially profiled and stereotyped would have respect for others who go through the same

In this film everything the young men said stood out, being treated differently, always living in fear, and their parents do not know if they’re safe or not. The thing that mostly stood out and was resonant to me; was when one of the young men said, that they were stopped by the police while going from one class to another. Also, while his classmates walked by. How can the police be so racist? Stopping a student in school and question him, also, I want to know if any of his classmates tried to help. But honestly nothing from this video surprised me other than that because I know the cause and what’s happening in America. I know how hard it is to be different in America, especially being black. The commonalities in these young men’s stories

Task 2- This documentary conveys segregation and how the blacks were treated. This video is showing that no matter what color we are it is better for us to be treated equally. Like the collage kids in this documentary. It was not hurting anything for them to be served at

Do you have a day that is special to you that you wish you could do over? I know I do if I could do prom all over again I would in a heartbeat prom was the best day of my life omg it was so long but fun.but what really made it special was because Franklin, his family, and my family did whatever it takes to keep me happy. which was very sweet of them all I was already sad due to Franklin not being able to attend to prom because of his behaver at school. preparing for prom was fun everyone that was there to watch me get dress and take pictures made me feel like a princess, there was plenty of love I felt, and they made me realize I had a wonderful support system. if you had a day to do over again what would that day be and why?

My sister Joni is only 20 months older than me. When we were younger we used to do everything together from sleepings, to playing, to going to friends, and fighting. We shared a room for a very long time, maybe for 11 years or longer. We loved each other and always wanted to be with each other and do everything together.

I have been afraid of flying ever since I was young. The idea of being in a metal bird, thousands of feet above the ground, that takes me from one location to the next safely, terrifies me. A pilot, who I could only hope knows exactly what he is doing, has my life in his hands. When I found out that I would be taking a helicopter to prom instead of a nice car, I honestly thought I was having a nightmare. The one thing in the world that scares me the most will be my transportation of choice to one of biggest nights of my teen year.
