Net reel honors Black history, contributions

The Cape Gazette
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Sara Ford
March 4, 2022
If we are committed to racial justice, we must do more than state our support for it. We must find ways to serve that commitment with action. Keeping the menhaden net reel where it currently stands on the main Lewes Historical Society campus would be such an action.

The ordinance coming up for discussion Monday, March 7, would allow the reel to remain where it is. This issue has been in limbo now for way too long, and it’s time to let the reel stand. Putting it on the LHS main campus was and continues to be an action that helps lift Black people to their rightful place in Lewes’ history. The sad irony is that we have to highlight the “Black” part of that history because it has never been recognized or celebrated the way white history has been. The reel’s presence makes the story of Lewes’ history a truer and richer one.
