Hairspray
Hairspray is a film set in the 60’s during all the issues
with segregation/integration and racism. Tracy is a white high school student
who is one of the few non-discriminators. Tracy and her friend are obsessed with the
Corny Collins show. It’s basically a
musical show, but one day a week(?) they have “Negro Day”, where instead of the
show being white people, it’s all black people. Tracy loves Negro Day and says
it’s her favorite day of the show. The producer of the show decides to cut out
the whole Negro Day. Everyone is all upset and mad about it. In the end, with
Tracy’s help, they are able to integrate and the whites and blacks are all on
the show every day together. This is a great story about standing up for what
you believe in, even if it’s not in the majority. Tracy was the only white girl
who helped fight and promote integration. I think this served as an example for
the other people and ended up making everything work out. It also shows that
you can do anything you can put your mind to.
