For One Night

For One Night was inspired by the true story of an African-American teenager who shook up a small town where high school proms had been racially segregated for decades. When Senior Brianna McCallister (Raven-Symoné) suggests that the school change its policy and let both black and white seniors put on one prom, parents and school officials are shocked. McCallister risks her place as a gifted and popular school leader when she chooses to do the right thing. This is the story of two women, a student and a reporter (Aisha Tyler), and their courageous attempt to reverse a long-standing racist tradition and make history, at least for one night.
