Peace and Justice Education Event: Return to Hockessin Colored School #107C

August 8 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Thursday, August 8, 2024
7-8 p.m. on Zoom

Facilitated by Sandie Reinicker

New Castle County and Bowstring Studios partner to tell the story of the influential role the Hockessin Colored School No. 107C played in the fight for desegregation in the United States and how that piece of history was preserved. Join us as we view this compelling 30-minute video, hearing from former students and community leaders as they describe the impact of this place, and then discuss the ways this little school in Hockessin, Delaware, helped shape history across our country. Described as a “sacred place…a vital piece of Delaware history,” it now functions as an important community resource as a Center for Diversity, Inclusion and Social Justice. Hosted by Westminster’s Peace & Justice Work Group.
