My daughter goes to Morgan State HBCU currently. She was telling me that there was a wall that was built during the time of segregation to keep the students out of the shopping area. Last year that wall was finally torn down.
The wall was called the Spite wall it was builded in the 1930. It surrounded the area of the college and the shopping center and the homes that are still there. To keep the students out the all white neighborhood back then. What was left of the wall was torn down last April. The school was predominantly black not the neighborhood back then.Also was put up so the white neighbors didn't have to see the students while they were on campus.
Yes segregation was pretty much enforced nationwide--some states had the signs and some didn't. My high school teacher (African American) said he went to a restaurant in New Jersey when he was young, there were no racial signs, but his table was never serviced no matter how much they asked for a waitress.

Where was it exactly? Because that area from my understanding was always predominantly black

Honey,ain't nothing changed. It's a different kind now-a-days.
It always amazes me when people sacrifice getting more paying customers by shutting people out--but they would rather be racist.
Thank you
wow I didn't know Delaware had strict segregation laws too
Yep The South was anything under Canada back then and still is
I heard Delaware public schools were not desegregated until the 1960s.
I'm learning more.
Sad
😭
