Raven Symone stars in movie about first interracial HS prom

CVK
ravenReuters reports that Raven Symone will star in the Lifetime TV movie “For One Night.” She will play a black teenager who, with the help of a newspaper reporter, braves decades of segregation to stage the first interracial high school prom in the history of their small town. “For One Night” (working title) is set to premiere later this year.

“This is an amazing and powerful story, not only about overcoming racial prejudice but also about the personal journey of one young woman who wanted to make a difference,” Lifetime senior vp original movies Trevor Walton said.

    Raven is very pretty and very talented and I am glad that she is steady moving up, however, I was disappointed in her when she came to Memphis 2005 Mid South Fair, she did not sign any autographs nor did she speak to any of her 1000 of fans that was cheering her on. All Raven did was smile and keep walking, if it was not for us she would not be where she is now.
    I still wish her the best but I want to let it be known that she is not that nice in person.

    My 6-year old granddaughter is so enamored with Raven that she wants to have a “Cheetah Girl” birthday party for her 7th birthday in March 2006. She’s told all of her girlfriends that she’s inviting Raven. Wouldn’t be awesome if she heard from Raven.

    Hey girl!..
    How’s it going, how are u doing? i just wanted to say?im proud of u..you do such a good job on ur show, i like u but not in love w/u. its wrong to be in love with someone u dont know personally?…cus i always hear people saying” ilove u” to other people they dont even know? and im like “how can u love someone u dont know? imean yes its nice u love them? but uc ant just come up to a perfect stranger? and say i love u?..its kind of weird it think?…thats my opinion. but of course mine doesnt matter?..
    Anyways. i think “thats so raven is gonna be on air for a long time if u guys keep up the good work? i mean..seriously raven?…i’ve watched u since u were a wee tyke. and u do alot better than Keisha personally?..but dont tell her that?(make that our secret, ok?)
    You make me laugh everytime i watch that show? it brightens my day when im having a rough time?..i just went through a death in the family…and among other things in the same month. and it helped cheer me up.. thank u!..
    Your show is hilarious. i laugh so hard sometimes, i almost wet my self..cus u 3 are like the 3 stooges.o my goodness!..Keep me laughing please?..
    i heard u have a clothes line?..where at and where can i get them?..if id o buy anything? for my self or my niece?…and what age group? are u gonna start getting a cosmetic line going too? that would be nice? at least for older girls?…although im 31 and i like u!..but i also have a learning disability that causes me to have actions like a 10 yr old or 14 year old sometimes?…i was just curious?
    I think you would be fun to hang out with? just coming over and saying “hey girl ? wanna go to lunch or something? or wanna play nintendo? or watch a movie?…
    when ur not working? or doing school work?..what do u like to do for fun?…i do scrapbooks….id like to get paper of ur show? for scrapbooking wouldnt that be neat?
    why not they have everything under the sun for Lizzie Maguire?…why not u?…cool huh?…i also go rollerskating on the weekends?. and do other things too
    Anywho. keep up the work.? and please keep me laughing(for u, chelsie and the other guy, cant think of his name right now)…*Brain Fart* ehehheh!
