Minisode - Segregated Proms


Listen Later

In 2014, Wilcox High School in Georgia, made history when they held their first official integrated prom. Prior to this, proms and other school events were segregated with separate white and black proms. And the sad news is, this is not the only school committing this racist injustice. Join us for a minisode as we explore how some counties in the south have been getting away with segregation within their communities and schools in modern day times.
