Inside History
While tickets to the National Museum of African American History and Culture are hard to come by, there’s a place with the same kind of history right here in Wilmington thanks to the Delaware Historical Society.

First Person: Delaware Tech turns 50
50 years ago the state legislature gave the green light to create Delaware Technical Community College. Since then, Delaware Tech has provided tens of thousands of people access to an affordable and high-quality education, and graduated more than 48,000. Delaware Tech president Dr. Mark Brainard joins us this week as our First Person guest.

First Experience: Your Creation Station
Art can be an expensive hobby. Think about what it takes to take up painting or ceramics. Imagine what goes into fused glass or even tie-dye.

Just bring your creativity; they have everything else.
