Response to ‘Do you know local Black history?’
The Milford Public Library and the Milford Museum presented a history of the Buffalo Soldiers, along with portions of two local movies, on Feb. 16. One, an excerpt from “The Other Side of the Tracks,” documents the early life of Delaware legend Dr. Reba Ross Hollingsworth. The other is a clip about the Milford Seven, the first African American students to graduate from Milford High School following the Brown v. Board of Education decision. What new things have you recently learned about Delaware Black history?
Are you ready for racing?
NASCAR kicked off the 2023 season Feb. 19 at Daytona, which has a long and storied racing history. The organization was founded in 1947 by local mechanic Bill France, who built a 2.5-mile tri-oval circuit that held the first Daytona 500 in 1959 and, over the years, has hosted famous names such as Petty, Pearson, Foyt, Andretti, Guthrie and Earnhardt. What’s your prognostication for this year’s racing results?
