COLORADO SPRINGS — Officials at Holmes Middle School are ending a 4-year-old practice of sending a black-only student group to a Martin Luther King Jr. celebration.
“We did not consciously intend to segregate students but only wished to serve students that may be most appreciative of the opportunity,” principal Rob Utter said in an e-mail to The Gazette in Colorado Springs on Wednesday. “I can acknowledge that we made a mistake. For that, and on behalf of the school, I extend my sincerest apologies.”
