Laub returns to the community in Georgia where she photographed segregated proms that garnered national attention when published in the New York Times Magazine. The proms are now integrated; but in the aftermath of a fatal shooting of a young black man and in the midst of a heated local election, the community still grapples with issues of race that extend well beyond the senior prom.
