Bell Ringer! April 29, 2013

A high school in Georgia has, for years now, had two separate proms, one for blacks and one for whites. However, a group of four senior girls created a facebook page in order to attempt to fund a prom open for everyone at their school. They were able to get the money and funds they needed in order to through a very successful prom that nearly half of the student body attended. The first integrated prom the high school has ever seen, although I don't believe it was completely accepted by all, because there was an additional prom arranged by the parents for the white students too. I think it was a wonderful idea to get everyone involved, because times have changed and some people just need to accept that fact and get over it already.
