The article I decided to share pertains relevance to a major theme in the book, which is segregation. In Luis Rodriguez's Always Running he describes his up brining as mexican american growing up in the gang ridden low income neighborhoods of the greater Los Angeles area. Additionally Rodriguez describes particular instances where he encounters segregation. In the article that I will be sharing, two brave Georgia high school students address segregation in a brilliant and subtly confrontational way. The two high school seniors decided to organize their high schools first racially integrated prom, in hopes to terminate their high school's facility and student body's regressive and racially intolerant approach to organizing school social events.
