A South Carolina high school senior made history as the school’s first Black homecoming queen in 155 years.
Amber Wilsondebriano, a senior at Charleston’s Porter-Gaud High School, was voted by her peers to become homecoming queen in 2023.
“When I was nominated, I didn’t feel confident I would win,” Wilsondebriano said. “However, throughout the week, many students told me they were voting for me. When the day came, and my name was called, I was relieved and honored because I knew I was a part of history. I was elated the whole night. My peers made me feel special for the day.”
