Museum to present program on Governor Ross
The Milford Museum American History Series continues with a program about Delaware Governor William H.H. Ross presented by Claudia Furnish Leister on Saturday, January 11, 1:00 p.m. at the Milford Public Library in Milford, Delaware. In this program Leister, retired Milford Museum director, will preview her soon to be published book about Governor William H.H. Ross.
As an antebellum Governor of Delaware, Ross was a slave owner in the Seaford area, as were his father and grandfather. Ross became a very controversial figure during the Civil War due to his Confederate sympathies. Equally as important were the decisions made and the actions taken by Ross as a Delaware planter within the context of the impact of slavery, the declining soil fertility, the changing commodity markets, and the advent of the railroad.
Leister grew up in Milford and later moved to Michigan where she earned a B.A. in English and a minor in Archaeology/Anthropology from Michigan State University. She returned to Delaware where she eventually became the Curator and Collections Manager for Delaware Historical and Cultural Affairs in 1980.
After retiring from the State of Delaware in 2011, she was invited to become a member of the Milford Museum Board. A year later, she was appointed as the first Executive Director. She had previously served as President of the Seaford Historical Society from 1991 to 2000. During her time as the Milford Museum President, she completed the first-ever total inventory of the collections, the computerization of the collections database, and the creation of new exhibits using modern methods and standards. She retired from the position in 2023 but continues to serve as a volunteer curator at the museum.
Sponsored by the Milford Museum, these monthly programs focus on a variety of topics concerning local, state, and national history. These presentations are held on the second Saturday of each month, at 1:00 p.m., in the Milford Public Library. The library is located at 11 S.E. Front Street in Milford, Delaware. For more information, please contact the Museum at (302) 424-1080, [email protected]. These programs are offered through a generous grant from The Delaware Heritage Commission.

Study: Young Black men in Wilmington say they can’t survive without a firearm
From Philly and the Pa. suburbs to South Jersey and Delaware, what would you like WHYY News to cover? Let us know!
A new study published in the Delaware Journal of Public Health offers a stark glimpse into the experiences and perceptions of young African American men living in communities often associated with violence.
The research, conducted by scholars from Texas Southern University, Delaware State University, Coppin State University, Jackson State University, and Thurgood Marshall College, interviewed 400 young men between the ages of 15 and 24 who either owned or recently owned a firearm. Of the total group, about 100 participants were from Wilmington, Del.; the others were from Baltimore; Jackson, Miss.; and Houston.
The study — titled “Understanding the Perception of Place and Its Impact on Community Violence” — revealed that many participants felt compelled to carry firearms for safety, often after witnessing or experiencing violence in their neighborhoods. In Wilmington, 86% of respondents described the city negatively, with 74% using only negative terms.
Their descriptions included words like “murder town,” “treacherous,” “crazy,” “chaotic,” and “a war zone.” A persistent sense of threat pervaded their understanding of the city around them.
Safety concerns drove most participants to arm themselves.
According to the study, young men often encountered firearms at an early age — sometimes as young as 10 — and many had family members or close friends who introduced them to guns. The findings indicate that these decisions are not made lightly, nor in isolation. Social media pressures, limited economic opportunities, limited role models, and easy access to firearms shaped a landscape where carrying a gun seemed logical, even necessary, to the young men for personal protection.
Nurturing hope among young people
These research findings resonate with ongoing efforts at One Village Alliance, a Wilmington nonprofit seeking to nurture young people in a city often misunderstood by outsiders. One evening at the organization’s location on West 31st and Market streets, children gathered in a small kitchen to fill plastic bags with healthy snacks. The exercise, though seemingly simple, has a clear purpose: to instill good nutritional habits and provide a sense of stability. The community around them is sometimes referred to as a food desert, making nutritious food scarce.
By taking part in such activities, the children learn new skills and build confidence. “Can I get this one?” one child asked, eager to take part. Here, learning about healthy eating serves as an introduction to broader life skills that can help counter the environmental factors the study highlights.
The nonprofit’s after-school enrichment programs aim to reinforce positive experiences and set children on a path toward excellence through education, mentorship, and personal development. It offers a safe space and an alternative to the streets. This approach is informed by staff members who know the stakes all too well.
