From the 1920s and for more than four decades after that, Delaware’s public schools operated under the separate but equal doctrine.
Appalled by Delaware’s schools, industrialist and philanthropist Pierre S. du Pont took interest in how Delaware’s coloreds were being educated. Du Pont also questioned the way school taxes were levied.

It is people like you that give the eastern shore a bad reputation. Who cares about history? We don't need to know algebra or any of that chemistry stuff either. LOL. It is truly sad!
Delaware is not on the Eastern Shore!

There is an Eastern Shore of Maryland, and an Eastern Shore of Virginia. Delmarva is the name of the entire peninsula
I guess some of us did need a geography lesson. LOL

Many are issued a diploma and cannot read or write well.
We have lowered our system of education to meet different culture requirements.
Why ? Because the race card has been used for many years .

How well I recall the changes at Delmar High in that time frame.
