The Georgetown Public Library is hosting a three part History Series this summer. The second part of the series is a screening of "In Due Course: Integrating Milford High School" on Saturday, June 21, 2025 at 10:30 a.m. Charles Hammond, Jr., one of the 1962 Milford Seven, will introduce the documentary with a Q & A following the screening. "In Due Course: Integrating Milford High School” is a documentary examining the 1954 failed attempt to desegregate Milford High School and the successful admission of Black students to Milford High School in 1962. It recounts these two significant events and explores the underlying reasons that facilitated the major shift in community values. The documentary provides a better understanding of Milford's little-known Black history as it relates to the 1954 Supreme Court's decision Brown v. Board of Education that marked the end of the legalized racial segregation in schools in the United States.
