โNo place for a celebration:โ Lamar Consolidated ISD students demand district to change prom from former plantation
HOUSTON โ Students enrolled in Lamar Consolidated ISD expressed disappointment Wednesday over plans to host senior prom at a well-known former plantation. AdThe George Ranch Historical Parkโs website doesnโt shy away from the siteโs past as a former plantation. โGeorge Ranch Historical Park is an educational place and thereโs no denying that and itโs learning about the history there. Here is the full statement released by Lama Consolidated ISD:Due to COVID-19 considerations, the District is holding all 2021 proms at the George Ranch Historical Parkโs outdoor covered arena. We are looking forward to providing all of our seniors with an official school prom after COVID-19 prevented this event last spring.
