In Delaware, School Segregation Persisted Until 1967
Separate but equal was a Supreme Court doctrine that held racial segregation was constitutional as long as the facilities provided for blacks and whites were roughly equal. This doctrine was long used to support segregation in public schools and public facilities such as transportation, restaurants, restrooms and water fountains.
In the South, Jim Crow laws ensured that facilities and services for blacks were often clearly inferior.
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.
7:37 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!
It's obvious that education of blacks and whites have failed . 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 .
Sorry, who really cares since it is now 2014? It's not worthy of reporting!

Delaware is not on the Eastern Shore!
ReplyDeleteObviously we don't need geography either. The eastern shore is an island from the C & D canal to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.
ReplyDeleteThere is an Eastern Shore of Maryland, and an Eastern Shore of Virginia. Delmarva is the name of the entire peninsula
ReplyDeleteI guess some of us did need a geography lesson. LOL
ReplyDeleteIt is all considered the slower lower….

6:45 a.m. -- Considering your poor grasp on the English language, the only thing that is obvious is that attempts to educate you failed.
ReplyDeleteHow well I recall the changes at Delmar High in that time frame.
