Students attend school's first integrated prom

In yet another embarrassing moment for a state in the southern U.S.

Students of Turner County High School started what they hope will become a new tradition: Black and white students attended the prom together for the first time on Saturday.

But some were not ready for the change:

"I've asked, 'Why can't you come?' and they're like, 'My mommy and daddy -- they don't agree with being with the colored people,' which I think is crazy," she said.

Yes, we're in the 21st century.
