Grads leave lasting legacy: Integrated prom ? In America - CNN.com Blogs
This is a very small southern Georgia town. Back when they were forced to integrate, the school eliminated prom rather than have black students and white students dance together. Since then parents have hosted special racially segregated dances. However, the graduating class of 2013 decided it was time to end this tradition, and pushed for a real prom.
For the 1st time in more than 40 years the school will host prom, for both black and white students, together.
