Congratulations to Students of Turner County High

Even in 2007, we are still confronted with issues of race in this country. Turner County High School in Ashburn, Georgia, is no exception.

As reported by CNN, the students of Turner County High enjoyed their first integrated prom recently.

For years, according to CNN, parents have organized private, segregated dances but that all changed due to the efforts of the students who voted to have a school sponsored prom.

In the spirit of breaking old traditions, the theme of the prom was "Breakaway," and, from what I could gather from the article, the dance was an astounding success.

I think that it is a wonderful example of the true strength of the human spirit and I believe that these students should be commended for their great efforts.

With this in mind, I would like to wish a big Congratulations to the students of Turner County High School in Ashburn, Georgia!

You all should be proud of your accomplishment! Go Rebels!
