     A new collection of photographs depicting African-American education
in Delaware from 1800-1950 will be on display in the main lobby and in the
Education Resource Center of Willard Hall Education Building from Dec. 6
through Feb. 28.
     To mark the opening, a panel discussion, "Reflections on African
American Education in Delaware," will be held at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 8,
in Room 007 of the Willard Hall Education Building.
     Free and open to the public, the discussion will feature five
prominent local African Americans who will talk about their personal
experiences and answer questions from the audience.
     Panelists include Kathryn Young Hazeur, a retired elementary principal
and one of the Univesity's first African-American graduates; Littleton
Mitchell, head of the Delaware chapter of the NAACP for over 30 years who
was involved in Milford School integration; Guy Molock, a retired school
principal and current director of the Forum for the Advancement of Minority
Engineers (FAME); Helen Handy Powell, a retired elementary school teacher
and a litigant in the precedent-setting Parker vs U.D. case in 1948; and
Eldridge Walters, the first African American president of the Delaware
Elementary Principals Association.
     The photo exhibit of 34 annotated photographs was assembled by Adrian
Berney, a University graduate student in the Hagley Program, under the
supervision of Belena Chapp, director of the University Gallery.
     The panel discussion is sponsored by the Center for Intercultural
Teacher Education and MOSAIC, an affiliated student organization. The photo
exhibit is co-sponsored by the University's Office of Affirmative Action
and Multicultural Programs, the University Gallery and the Education
Resource Center.
