An outdoor photo shoot by a Reuters photographer this month did at least give her and her friends a chance to dress up and pose for the camera. The high school prom - short for promenade dance - is an American rite of passage, usually held in April through June before graduation. Plans for the event can be as elaborate as weddings, with dresses bought months in advance, stylists organized to fix hair and makeup, and limousines hired to take the partygoers to the party.
Boston high schoolers and best friends Lucie Mareira and Shea Mikalauskis showed up to the photo shoot in long slinky dresses, their hair tied up. Instead of high heels, they wore practical flip flops to trek around Ponkapoag Pond in Canton.
reuterspictures Amen 🙏
reuterspictures Why don’t they just riot?
reuterspictures I would be furious if I were a teen, regardless of color, who just spent the last two plus months abiding by stay-at-home orders, deprived of my prom, awards ceremony, and graduation but seeing fellow youths gathering by the thousands without consequence and being featured on tv.

Definition of white privelage, her disappointment while a shame, is only a minor inconvenience compared to the horrifying injustices being perpetrated against black's as a distraction to Trump's incompetence in dealing with the Covid19 pandemic that has killed 103,000 Americans.
