A complete history of Delaware County must include the experience of African American residents. Oral histories are being recorded, archived, and shared that tell the stories of Black county residents. “Growing Up Black in Delaware: An Oral History” is a one project focused on the childhoods of black residents who recall both the challenges and the achievements of living in a nearly all-white Midwest town

This project has recorded the experience of residents in a mostly-black enclave of Delaware County called the Lucy Depp community.
