ABBEVILLE, Ga., April 5 (UPI) -- More than 50 years after the U.S. Supreme Court's Brown decision, students in a Georgia county have decided to integrate the senior prom.
Quanesha Wallace decided to organize a prom open to both races after she was barred from attending a whites-only Homecoming event even though she was the Wilcox County High School Homecoming queen, WMAZ-TV, Macon, reported. She had been chosen queen of the school's first integrated Homecoming court.
