<p>My brother graduated from highschool in that part of Georgia. I remember being surprised at his yearbook which had superlatives segregated between black and white kids. I understand they still do that. Also have two Homecoming queens and other racially segregated awards. When I said something to a school board member about this, some years ago, he shrugged and said even the National Merit association has categories for black superachievers. That they are just an offshoot of the main awards which are colorblind did not seem to mean anything to him.</p>
