    Default segregation never, integration ... just now?

    ASHBURN, Ga. - Breaking from tradition, high school students in this small town are getting together for this year’s prom.

    Prom night at Turner County High has long been an evening of de facto segregation: white students organized their own unofficial prom, while black students did the same...

    On April 21... The town’s auditorium will be transformed into a tropical scene, and for the first time, every junior and senior, regardless of race, will be invited.



    2007, baby!

    Well I cam glad they are finally making changes to improve social relationship ethics with differant races.

    It is what it is, not what you want it to become, that's important -- at least for now. Today, remember that things worth having are worth waiting for!

    Holy shit.

    "Yet Turner County High already has defied tradition this year. The school abandoned its practice of naming separate white and black homecoming queens."

    My mom told me that when her high school was integrated, in 1968 (that's almost 40 fucking years ago), they did this. I am just blown away.

    You think having two separate proms is bad...try three.

    I grew up in GA, and as sad as it is, things like this still happen all the time. I know a girl that couldn't get served at Shoney's (of all places) because she was white and pregnant, and she was with a black man. You would think things like that don't happen anymore...

    LOL! It reads all wrong.

    "Hispanic Prom Added at Toombs County High"

    LOL! That's what happens all over the country. At my college there's a "black bench", and a "black graduation".
