The history of African American people in Sussex County is not only a story of communities and institutions, but also of individuals whose lives and leadership shaped Delaware and, in some cases, the nation.
The Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice (SDARJ) is presently accepting applications for the 2023 Charlotte King Scholarship Program. Several $1000 scholarships will be awarded to Sussex County graduating seniors from the Class of 2023, who identify as Black and/or African American. The essential criterion is a demonstrated concern for furthering racial understanding and justice. The deadline to submit an application is April 2.
