The racial disparities in Delaware remain, even fifty years later.

Wilmington, Delaware, was one of the many cities that experienced civil unrest and racial

tension. One of the reasons is that in Delaware, the slavery did not become illegal until

nineteen one, over thirty years after most of the other states.

The top four grievances identified by black people according to the Kerner commission
Report, were the unethical police practices, unemployment, inadequate housing and
inadequate education.
This causes an economic and social inequality, an example, 25 in every 100 Black families
lived in poverty compared to six in every 100 White families.

Many black families, every day, are harassed and stereotyped at school or at work because

of their skin color and ethnicity.

For every dollar a white family earns, a black family earns sixty cents.

For every white child in poverty, there are three black children in poverty.

That’s why the government of Delaware have made laws that protects individuals against

employment and social discrimination on the bases of race and color.
