America is repeating its history rather than progressing or regressing. Many believe that Obama is proof that we are progressing but I believe that to be a myth because there is still visible segregation. The photo tells us that the prom is segregated. During the 1970’s, America thought it had overcome racism until the busing rallies occurred in Boston and many were threatened, these students are upset because it seems nothing has changed.
