Pan African Flag raised in Wilmington on 100th anniversary
Dozens of people attended a ceremony in Wilmington on Thursday as the Pan African Flag was raised in its permanent location in Spencer Plaza near the Louis L. Redding City/County Building. The ceremony featured African drummers and speeches by government officials and community representatives. The event marked 100 years since the signing of the Declaration of the Rights of the Negro People of the World by the UNIA, chaired by Marcus Garvey. This document is one of the earliest and most comprehensive human rights declarations in U. S. history. To see a video of the ceremony, CLICK HERE.
DE back on NY, NJ quarantine lists, but COVID progress is positive
New Castle County has been fighting hard to keep infection rates for COVID-19 low, and hospitalizations for COVID-19 have dropped under 30 for the first time since the pandemic began.
