Meanwhile in Georgia of the Day: Students in Georgia Fight for an Integrated Prom
Believe or not, Wilcox County High School in Rochelle, Georgia still has segregated dances for white and black students. When a bi-racial student attempted to walk into the white prom last year, police turned them away at the entrance. To combat this racial divide, several students have taken on the task of organizing their first racially integrated prom through Facebook, which has been reportedly met with some adversity at their high school, according to the local news affiliate WSAV-3. C’mon, Georgia, it’s time to upgrade!
The first time we had bi-racial homecoming court at my high school they had to call in the police….like what six years ago? The south be cray, cray sometimes
