In May, 1954, the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. That August, the Milford, Delaware School Board voted to integrate Milford High School. This video documents the history of what happened that fall when the school admitted 11 Black students, known as the Milford Eleven.

In 1965, the first Black students graduated from Milford High School. They are known as the Milford Seven.
