Graduates from the St. Martinville, Louisiana Senior High School Class of 1973 decided that after nearly 40 years, they would stop holding segregated class reunions, but a letter announcing the change included an after-party for "white graduates only," the Yahoo News website reports today (September 2, 2012).
Michael Kreamer -- who is the principal of the school -- said the letter was brought to his attention on August 31.
On September 21, a reception will be held at the school, followed by the homecoming football game, which the letter notes all graduates are welcome to attend.
The letter also notes that after the game, "white graduates only" are invited to a classmate's home and are encouraged to bring a "food dish to share."
