The C. O. W. S. w/ Paul Saultzman: Prom Night in Mississippi

Director/Producer Paul Saltzman visits The Context of White Supremacy. Saltzman is a two-time Emmy Award-winning Toronto-based film and television producer-director with over 300 productions to his credit. We'll analyze his 2009 project, Prom Night in Mississippi, which is a documentary film narrated by Morgan Freeman. Apparently, some were surprised that to learn that in the 21st century, there are still places where black and White students have separate prom festivities. Actually, the dance that permits black students to attend is open to all. The restriction is for the White only prom. The black thespian Freeman offered to pay for the festivities if everyone celebrated together. Gus is not sure if Mr. Freeman was asking that they permanently desist from having the Whites Only Prom or if he grasped that there already was a prom where everyone could attend. Painfully, at the end of the film, the Whites Only Prom and White Supremacy are alive and well. Mr. Saultzman, a Suspected Racist, agreed to speak with us for 30 minutes, and left in a prompt and tacky manner at the half hour mark. #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
