I'm Kind of Amazed

Or perhaps I'm just naive, but this story really struck me. This year, 2007, Turner County (Georgia) High School holds its first ever integrated prom. Before that, white kids went to a white-only prom, and black kids went to a black-only prom. In 2006 the school stopped electing separate black and white homecoming queens in favor of a single queen.

It's good to see progress toward integration, but it's obviously slow in coming.
