There are some folks in the South who are up to old tricks... Or, at least they haven't adopted any new ones. Turns out there are places in America that still have segregated proms!
Whatchu talkin' bout, Willis?!
Yep, best friends, teammates, study mates - all share a school and common experience until it's time to dance at the end of the year. Then, there is a White prom on one night, and a Black prom on the next. The students don't seem to want it this way, so who exactly are these proms for?
The worst part is the explanation: "It's how it's always been."
You know, there are a lot of things that had just "always been" that were eventually changed. And, no self-respecting school - or state, for that matter - should allow this to continue. Especially not when we have a 1/2 Black, 1/2 White president in the White House... (Wonder which prom he would attend...)
