The Lynching of George White

The Lynching of George White

Online

Renowed historian, Syl Woolford, recounts the documented racial terror lynching of George White in New Castle County. Hear his long forgotten story, and be part of our collective memory about the legacy of violence and unequal justice in our country.

 

Lecturer, Syl Woolford, is a native Delawarean and a graduate of Delaware State University with a BS Degree in Business Administration/Accounting and a graduate of Rutgers University with a MBA in Marketing. He recently retired from a career in accounting and sales with such firms as Campbell Soup, IBM, Pacific Telesis and Sun Information Services.

Mr. Woolford’s interest in history began with the researching of his own family history. He traced his mother’s family back 210 years in the city of Newark, Delaware.
