Michelle Obama is helping to give students a prom.
Obama's nonpartisan organization, When We All Vote, and MTV will host a virtual prom event for the class of 2020. The event, announced on Thursday, is meant to boost the spirits of the students whose proms and graduation ceremonies have been canceled due to Covid-19 as well as shine a light on registering and voting in the national election in November.
MTV's Prom-athon is also being held in partnership with the 2020 Prom Challenge which Obama publicized in February by sharing her own prom photo.
The event is scheduled to kick off on May 22 with an all-day, on-air takeover on MTV featuring prom-themed throwback movies and short-form original content highlighting the winning schools and students. At 9 p.m. EST a virtual prom party will live stream on MTV YouTube and include surprise celebrity guest appearances and live performances from major artists. The event also serves to celebrate 20 winning high schools and students who organized the most creative nonpartisan voter registration efforts across the country.

No ulterior motive with the prom-athon. Oh, no. It's out of the goodness of her heart.
I aint never seen a wookie at a prom before.
Wow. A National “Take A Wookie to your Prom” Day.
MTV didn’t have an inauguration ball in 2001 because there said that the recount took so long they didn’t have time to plan it.
I don’t recall their excuse in 2005.
Lemme guess, none in 2017.
“Rock the Vote” claims to be non-partisan
Michelle is on the panel of some “non-partisan” get out the vote group this year too.
Who’s Michael’s virtual date?
They don’t want to see how the obxxx graduation thing goes first? Supposed to have stars and stuff. I believe I read it’s tomorrow night.
An odd irony of this with MTV being involved is that it took the phenomenal success of Michael Jackson’s Thriller album for black artists to actually get their videos played on MTV. Apparently, the prevailing attitude at MTV until about 1983 or thereabouts was that black artists did soul and R&B and that had about as much of a place on MTV as country music videos did.
“I don’t recall their excuse in 2005.
Lemme guess, none in 2017.”
But it’s purely ‘non-partisan’, you know.
*puke*
Almost like they’re prepping her for VP...
Complete with tranny Prom King & Queen.
They’re really trolling for high schoolers, currently not in the indoctrination classrooms.
In before the ‘I bet she leads in the slow dances’
I take it you didn't go to a big city high school?
They are responsible for all these cancellations. Get bent.
You would have to be some kind of mental reject to want to “attend” a prom put on by this hermorphodite loser.
