Several students stood up for themselves to organize their prom after years of celebrating their rite of passage separated by race.
To note accurately. The school hasn't officially sanctioned any prom since the schools were integrated more than 30 years ago. So these parties were organized privately. But students have had enough and the publicity of their stance has led many to act in support of these students and the local school board to consider sponsoring future proms that will include everybody.
Let's wish the students of Wilcox County High all the best as they celebrate their prom this weekend. And all the best for graduation and beyond.
