Iron Hill School was one of more than 80 schools for African-American children built between 1919 and 1928 as part of philanthropist Pierre Samuel du Pont's "Delaware experiment." The 37 interviews in this collection document community and school life, relationships between schools, civil rights, transportation to and from school, employment, and churches.
