The Trail to Desegregation Bus Tour
This year’s Brown v. Board of Education Bus Tour will be a ticketed public history event that continues the storytelling of Delaware’s part in the national conversations about the landmark US Supreme Court Case that desegregated public schools.
Our Summer 2025 tour builds on the capstone project developed by Wilmington resident Karen Ingram for her 2024 Master of Arts from the University of Delaware’s Liberal Studies Program. Ingram, who worked for Louis Redding, developed the tour as an opportunity to bring people to the historic sites connected to Redding’s legal cases and put them into context through conversation.
This program ferries attendees via bus to tour four New Castle County spaces where they are immersed in the stories of attorney Louis Redding and his African American clients whose successful legal challenges to segregation at the state level in 1951 were considered by the Supreme Court alongside other challenges to segregation in Topeka, Kansas, Clarendon, South Carolina, Washington, D.C., and Prince Edward County, Virginia in the Brown vs. Board decision.
This multi-site tour begins at Howard High School.
Tickets $60.
