howard high school of technology

     

Howar High School of Technology, formerly Howard High School, is now a vocational-technical high school in Wilmington, Delaware. It was an all-black school, subject of Gebhart v. Belton, a 1953 desegregation court case. Parents of students bussed to Howard sued to allow admittance to all-white Claymont High School. Upon appeal to the U.S. Supreme court, it combined with four other cases, and thus was one of five schools subject of the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education U.S. supreme court case. The Howard case was the only one that had resulted in an order of desegregation at the state level. The Supreme Court ruling overturned "separate but equal" doctrine and ordered desegregation in all of the cases. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2005.,
