Lifting As We Climb: Churches, Schools and the Formation of Delaware's Free Black Communities On View
Organized in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Lifting As We Climb draws from the University of Delaware’s Special Collections to chronicle the resilience of Black communities during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
