A group of high school students in Georgia are making headlines around the world for challenging the segregation of their high school prom. The four female students — two black and two white — are seeking to end a longstanding tradition at Wilcox County High that holds segregated proms each year. The proms are organized by private groups, and parents behind the “white prom” have refused to let African-American students attend. Local officials say the segregated prom has continued because it’s organized privately, out of the school district’s control. News of the case spread quickly over social media last week, fueling an outpouring of donations and offers to help the four girls stage an integrated prom open to all. In a statement announcing their funding goal has been reached, the quartet told supporters: “You have confirmed our belief in the human spirit.”
