Hockessin Colored School #107C became a catalyst for the groundbreaking school desegregation case Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. This seldom-told story is among the nation's unsung heroes of public education with a life and legacy that spanned over 180 years. Residents of the Hockessin colored community built and operated their own school prior to construction of the 1920 brick school building erected by P.S. duPont. Eventually, descendants of those same residents would witness the closing and conversion of their patrimony. Hockessin Colored School #107C--now the First State's Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Equity--is a beacon of light and an incubator of history for children throughout the United States.
