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/fd297f1bb22d6dd4c7c3bef79cad9fb1.tif 17919e3f0741776d283ed42473da074d https://turnercountyproject.com/archive/files/original/ce2a50cee8e33724d755b375d3e07c9a.tif 7abc1189423353ca322c9472f57812af Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource Born in 1953, Virginia Smith arrived into this world in Sycamore, Georgia delivered at home by a midwife. Due to the time period’s racist social policies, the hospital was a “whites only” establishment. But this was just her first introduction to racism. She went on to face the integration of Turner County Schools, harsh slurs by school administrators, wrongful terminations, and adversity throughout her life, but she also had so many blessings: 6 wonderful kids, role models who helped her throughout the journey, and perseverance in spades to complete her education 25 years after she was supposed to graduate. The Turner County Project was so fortunate to sit down with Virginia on September 4, 2021 to hear her experiences.

Everyone had an ulterior motive for something in my mind at least. We had went on a little hike in the woods. I ain’t got no business down in the woods but we went. We ran across the Knight Riders in the woods. It was Halloween and it was something like maybe 1969 or something like that, and they were down in the woods and they had a man hanging up, but it wasn’t like a person, it was a dummy Turner County Project: Like an effigy. Virginia: It was what we thought was a real person but it wasn’t no real person, it was a dummy. We stepped up there to peep around the corner- you know, peeping through the woods at them and Mr. Robby [Reeves], the man’s farm we lived on, came up behind and said, “What the hell are ya’ll doing out here? Get your little - get out from here.” Then he started spanking our behinds and told us, “I’ll be by to talk to your momma in the morning. Now y’all be quiet and get on out of here.” Duration Length of time involved (seconds, minutes, hours, days, class periods, etc.) 1 minute, 26 seconds Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
