For nearly 40 years, graduates from the St. Martinville, La., Senior High School Class of 1973 have been holding racially segregated class reunions.But this year, ABC affiliate KATC reports that the graduates decided to change that tradition, making the reunion a non-segregated affair.It boggles the mind that they only now decided to play catch up to the rest of the country in some respects. But that doesn't mean they are ready to get rid of all of their old timey ways:
However, a letter announcing the change included an after party for "white graduates only."
And racism. You absolutely cannot forget to bring that.According to reports, a reception is going to be held at the school at the end of September, followed by the homecoming football game. The letter notes that "all graduates are welcome to attend" those events.After the game, however, "white graduates only" have been invited to gather at a classmate's home. Invitees are encouraged to bring a "food dish to share."
