My high school...
Up until about 1981 my high school had separate proms one at the country club for whites and all class officials were invited (the blacks never went) and one of the municipal center for the blacks.
As for homecoming we have a black and a white representing each class. And Homecoming Queen and the Maid of Honor switch every year for example my junior year we had a white queen and a black maid my senior year we had a black queen and a white maid. This is regardless of who get the highest votes. There are four black senior ladies and for white seniors. Depending on the year, the person with the highest number of votes for her race is the queen no matter what the person of the opposite race received. Example: This is what happened my junior year
Black girl#1 55
White girl #1 46
Black girl#2 60
White#2 37
Etc. White Girl#1 won because it was a white year.
Isn't this horrible. I don't think I could except something I know I didn't win, just because it's my year.
One year a black girl was maid even though she has 156 votes to the white queen's 45 votes.
