Race, And Two Reunions

Robert Samuels with a good one on deadline: Even 40 years after graduation, Miami Carol City High's class of 1970 bursts with a stubborn pride.



Pride for having a basketball team that went to the state championship their senior year.



Pride, for having a rocking marching band.



And lots of pride, for being one of the Miami-Dade's first integrated classes to graduate without having a single, major racial disturbance.



Yet, it's that same pride, some say, that might have led to an almost unthinkable reality in the year 2010: the class of 1970 still has segregated class reunions.



One white. One black.
