Abstract
Description
At this online event, students and faculty from the Fall 2024 interdisciplinary seminar "Race & Inequality in Delaware" presented new and updated research on the history of Delaware College (the predecessor institution of the University of Delaware) during the antebellum period, c.1830s-1850s. Using materials from Special Collections in Morris Library and University Archives, students have investigated Delaware College's ties to slavery and its relationship to neighboring communities of African Americans, free and unfree.
