Georgia High School Students Organize First Integrated Prom




Wilcox County, GA. High School Students Set Up First Integrated Prom. The group - Stephanie Sinnot, Mareshia Rucker, Quanesha Wallace and Keela Bloodworth - said they do everything together, except prom night. Wilcox County High School still sees things in black and white. White and black students have different prom and homecoming dances.
"There's a white prom and then we have our integrated prom," said Bloodworth.
If any race other than Caucasian tries to attend the white prom, Bloodworth said they "would probably have the police come out there and escort them off the premises."
That was the case just last year as a biracial student was turned away by police.
