Title A name given to the resource Two queens become one Subject The topic of the resource In 2005, Turner County selected a single Homecoming Queen for the first time in three decades, ending a “tradition” that had been in place since 1975. According to The Wiregrass Farmer, the two-queen system began when minority students approached school administrators requesting the change; at that time, the Homecoming ballot itself was still segregated. While the ballot was later integrated, the exact year of that change remains unknown. Originally, six students were listed on the ballot and the top two vote-getters were crowned queens. By the early 2000s, those two students were often of different races. The U.S. Justice Department ultimately determined that race appeared to be a deciding factor and instructed, through the school system’s attorney, that selecting two queens on the basis of race must stop immediately. Although officials maintained the process simply recognized the two highest vote-getters, students were notified prior to the 2005 vote that only one queen would be chosen. Then-Superintendent Ray Jordan explained the decision plainly: “To avoid the appearance of impropriety, we decided it was in the best interests of the school system to name only one queen.” Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available The Wiregrass Farmer Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource September 27, 2006 Aniesha Gipson Ashburn Chad Stone Ray Jordan The Wiregrass Farmer Turner County High School https://turnercountyproject.com/archive/files/original/00c07c882540dc6c7c6ba7bd59d9304e.png cff1e1baf8fe1333f62e7b9d53cc7afc https://turnercountyproject.com/archive/files/original/9baceed19a355cd67e8e4495e8d084a4.png 8f921e0eea3a7cb5e66b6dc5e855aaea https://turnercountyproject.com/archive/files/original/b17a9a853330a7ca079514cae87c3308.png 3e746b404ec7d36babf243bd3441ec2a https://turnercountyproject.com/archive/files/original/6e7861f078979838dc58c6876e9990b2.png e5db3f0c944a1864e46024d97d2c8830 https://turnercountyproject.com/archive/files/original/33c19e73505040f4f995d6fe45bd6d21.png cc95eb5055e6e8e94d1b6766973be946 https://turnercountyproject.com/archive/files/original/5bc6a6c200c6f752eb7f33f65868a6bd.png ccb608d2ca5558b2b1ede304b95d732c https://turnercountyproject.com/archive/files/original/bb806d645d200c51def89853a4ff22e0.png 8e218cbc0387666ef251e6fe6b420861 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
