The Waynesboro NAACP asked the School Board late Tuesday to apologize to Waynesboro High graduate Moreko Griggs over the decision to make him co-valedictorian with two other students after he was told he had won the sole honor. The Rev. Mildred Middlebrooks, Waynesboro NAACP president, said she and other branch officials came to Tuesday?s School Board meeting "for an apology to be given to Moreko." She called the June ordeal for Griggs and his family "stressful and tumultuous," and said an apology was warranted and would bring closure. Lorie Smith, the chair of the Waynesboro School Board, said she appreciated the comments of Middlebrooks and others on the issue. But Smith said she needed to confer with other School Board members, including members Brian Edwards and Doug Norcross, both of whom could not attend Tuesday?s meeting.
