Headline: For the first time, students at the Turner County High School prom were both black and white. Really?? In past years, white students had raised money for their own unofficial prom and black students did the same in this southern Georgia county according to the Associated Press. Unfortunately, traditions are hard to break as only two-thirds of the school’s students participated in the integrated prom and many white students still attended their own private party a week earlier.

On May 17th, 1954 Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas declared that racial segregation in schools is unconstitutional, but yet situations like these still exist. Does this surprise you?
