Moderator’s introduction

Wilcox County High School will host its first integrated prom Saturday. A group of bold seniors decided the time was right to merge separate black and white dances. Today, a Wilcox County businessman clears up what he says are inaccuracies around the issue, while the senior pastor of a landmark black church challenges Gov. Nathan Deal’s comments on the matter. Deal’s spokesman declined to submit an essay on the topic.
