racism would be a problem in such a civilized country as ours, it is spread throughout America. Even though we live in such a civilized country, there is still segregation. In the documentary “Prom Night” there were two separate proms for whites and colored folk up until 2008 (“Prom Night in Mississippi” n. pag.).
