Indeed, thanks to the inspiring students behind the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/IntegratedProm2013"><span class="s1">Integrated Prom</span></a> movement, for the first time ever, black and white students in the community dressed up and danced the night away together.</p> <p class="p1">How does a community get around having a prom that’s open to everyone without violating any civil rights laws? Easy. You just don’t let the school sponsor it. After the courts integrated the schools in the area, proms became private, invite-only events. White parents began raising funds for an all-white senior prom, leaving black families with no choice but to follow suit and host proms for their children.</p> <p class="p1">Yes, this still goes on on 2013, and <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/24/magazine/24prom-t.html?_r=2&hp&"><span class="s1">not just in this town</span></a>, either. And yes, some white Wilcox students <a href="http://www.cbsatlanta.com/story/22086349/sunday-at-11-whites-only-prom"><span class="s1">still attended the all-white only prom</span></a>. But as you can see from the video above, what happens when students say they’ve had enough and take action is truly inspiring.</p> </blockquote>http://mesoamused.com/post/49316533220http://mesoamused.com/post/49316533220Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:14:30 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/8e26bf15f5d7a07877860aac373ddf57/tumblr_mlysxdvPNe1qc8jh0o1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/bdd747a2f8c0745fcc006e746d3652d1/tumblr_mlysxdvPNe1qc8jh0o2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/53bc4e2130dfe292403cd2a049bb3915/tumblr_mlysxdvPNe1qc8jh0o3_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/2d95061187037d273d452ea00cfb2267/tumblr_mlysxdvPNe1qc8jh0o4_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/54fa50c9e09ee32102df624434c505dd/tumblr_mlysxdvPNe1qc8jh0o5_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/125f919fa5cd89d9b69d31332a62609b/tumblr_mlysxdvPNe1qc8jh0o6_r1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e7a198bce2f20415f07a922bb0a096dc/tumblr_mlysxdvPNe1qc8jh0o7_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5525f0b0f2d63abac7f8954380dea2d6/tumblr_mlysxdvPNe1qc8jh0o8_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/ae227bfe37765062aff8eb168c5ae046/tumblr_mlysxdvPNe1qc8jh0o10_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/1e81379554beea6d8b0b807374706eb7/tumblr_mlysxdvPNe1qc8jh0o9_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://sandandglass.tumblr.com/post/49085148915/obamas-one-liners-during-his-speech-at-the-white">sandandglass</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>Obama’s one-liners during his speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner. </em></p> </blockquote>http://mesoamused.com/post/49221081446http://mesoamused.com/post/49221081446Mon, 29 Apr 2013 20:53:12 -0400POTUS<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/2f380d20de81e5823aab320dae6ac44f/tumblr_mlolqsFmGa1r38hk2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>We’ve been violated!</strong></p>http://mesoamused.com/post/48655810034http://mesoamused.com/post/48655810034Mon, 22 Apr 2013 20:58:48 -0400animalsanimals LOLSometimes, you just have to let folks know how you feel. animalsbeingdicks: Beauty can be seen in...http://mesoamused.com/post/48203331674http://mesoamused.com/post/48203331674Wed, 17 Apr 2013 11:41:19 -0400animalsanimals LOL<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5YKOTjKMp_U?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><strong>On the occasion of my birthday, I want to thank MJ for immortalizing my name—I think. </strong></p> <p>Michael Jackson -
