AKA ‘The Starboard And The Styrofoam’.

Wilmington’s Black Community And The Delaware Way: Conclusion
Editor’s Note: Written By Mark Brunswick: This is my last post on Alice Dunbar-Nelson’s 1924 essay, ‘Delaware: A Jewel of Inconsistencies.’ There is an interesting nugget in the essay, “The Delaware Negro, by the way, has the reputation of being a, “bad actor” when he gets started.
