Sadly, it looks like not much has changed for the St. Martinville Senior High School Class of 1973. Graduates of the St. Martinville, LA, school planned to desegregate their reunion for the very first time this year, but a mistake on the invitation still reads "white graduates only." ABC News says that someone sent out an invitation that included last year's unedited wording.

As you can see, the invitation mentions a September 21 “after game get together: (white graduates only).” A party for "all graduates" from the Class of '73 is also mentioned on the invitation. The school has had segregated events in the past, but recent classes want to erase that memory. Regardless, it's a shame that there is still desegregation work to be done in 2012.
