I'm impressed that law was still standing in 2013.


There was no law.

What people are misreading.... and I don't really blame them since it's buried way down in the middle between a bunch of pictures is

The high school in question did not hold a prom until this year.

 

Parents would instead hold their own proms.  Which apparenty were segretated.  Which is terrible, but not really the same kind/level of terrible.

 

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/04/29/17967090-students-hold-georgia-schools-1st-racially-integrated-prom?lite

from 2013 mentions it.

 

Where they actually had a student sponsored interacial prom last year.  So really, the more correct headline would be "School holds it's first prom".
