Filmmakers Paul Saltzman and Patricia Aquino will present a special free screening of their award-winning film, “Prom Night in Mississippi” at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Overby Center auditorium on the campus of the University of Mississippi. The screening will be followed by a conversation about issues of race that still exist, and the prejudices that everyone has. The film, a documentary about the 2008 prom at Charleston High School which was funded by Academy Award winning actor Morgan Freeman when the students agreed to integrate their event, premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.
