Each year, during the weeks leading up to graduation at Johnson County High School, white students go to a white prom and black students go to a black one."It's always been like that," said senior Carla Rachels, 17, who helped organize Friday night's white prom in nearby Dublin. "We don't see it as being a big deal."

No one seems to remember when the rule was passed to keep the school's hands off the prom.
Older residents recall that the white prom was indeed school-sponsored in the days before public schools were integrated in the late 1960s.

Rev. Horton, believes the young people are simply bowing to the opinions of their elders.
"It ain't so much the young folks. It's the old folks that still got that meanness and hate in them," he said.
Horton offers first-hand testimony about how bitter racial tension can be in Johnson County. In 1980, Wrightsville gained national notoriety when a group of whites, including sheriff's deputies, attacked blacks during a civil-rights demonstration. Horton was there.
"I got beat to the ground," he said. His car was stripped and shoved into a pond. He spent three nights in jail. No one was ever prosecuted.
