Teenagers in a pocket of rural Georgia have held their first integrated school prom, ending decades of racial segregation that kept black and white pupils apart.
The inaugural "Love Has No Colour" event proved to be a great success after being organised by a group of school-leavers from Wilcox County High School in Rochelle.
They were forced to take matters into their own hands after teachers and parents refused to break with the county's 40-year tradition of holding separate proms.
"We live in rural south Georgia, where not too many things change, the group of four girls – two black and two white – said in a statement. "We want to make a difference in our community."
Hundreds of students, dressed in tuxedos and ball gowns, danced and celebrated the end of their school days at the prom, which the group funded via donations made over Facebook.
"Hopefully when everything is said and done, people in our county will really realise that there is no sense in the way things are right now," Mareisha Rucker, one of the organisers, told local TV news.
"I feel like we are living Martin Luther King's dream," added Alexis Miller, a white student who took her black boyfriend as her date.
