Designed to ground legal history in place, the tours grew out of a University of Delaware master of arts in liberal studies capstone by DHS board member Karen Ingram (MALS, 2024). Ingram—who once worked for civil rights attorney Louis L. Redding—framed the route to place Redding’s cases in context through on-site conversation. Tour stops included Howard High School, the Claymont Community Center and Hockessin Colored School #107C, where attendees heard first-person accounts from guides Syl Woolford and James “Sonny” Knotts about life in segregated and newly integrated classrooms.
