Prom Night in Mississippi

The new documentary Prom Night in Mississippi takes us to Charleston, Miss. - where high school students held their first racially integrated prom. Teaching Tolerance has teamed up with director-producer Paul Saltzman and HBO to create a teacher's guide to help you use the film in the classroom.




Watching the film is a powerful learning experience in and of itself. Teaching Tolerance is proud to present lesson plans designed to help you make the film an even more powerful and transformative experience for your students.

Our teachers guide is aligned to core standards and benchmarks and purposefully supports the acquisition of key skills and knowledge in multiple subject areas, from language arts to U.S. history to civics to mathematics. It places particular emphasis on adolescent literacy.

We invite you to share your experiences with this guide and Prom Night in Mississippi - whether positive or negative, or somewhere in between.

Are your books self-published and do you just make them available to your church or organization?
