I wan to know how the parents who held the white only prom justified having it this year. My understanding is that the blacks only prom did not happen this year.

Personally, I can't think of any other reason.

i'm just wondering. I wish someone would get an interview with one of the white prom organizers just to see why they felt the need to carry on with the whites only prom. and who are these teens who went to the segregated prom and then came to school smiling in the black kids' faces.

When I saw the title of this thread, I knew it just had to be about a red state in the deep south.

no, but if I were a kid who went to a segregated prom I might feel left out by the rest of the world. these people certainly aren't doing their children any favors. do you have anything to contribute to this thread? is racism the only reason they had this all white prom?
