Research Paper
My artifact is the movie Hairspray that was made in 2007. The movie is set in the time period of 1962. It is about an obese girl named Tracy who goes home one day and turns on her favorite dance show, where she discovers the opportunity to audition for the show. She makes it onto a dance show, and realizes that the minority dancers are just as good as the white dancers, but are not allowed to dance with them and are treated unfairly. Tracy makes it her goal to integrate the show so that the black and white people can all dance together.
