Delaware Association for the Moral Improvement and Education of the Colored People (of the State) was organized by whites in Wilmington in 1866 to provide schools for black students; between 1867 and 1876 the organization established 32 schools and created a separate school system for blacks. After the state began to take responsibility for black education in 1875, the Association's role decreased; went out of existence in 1886 and its work was continued by the executive committee of the African School Society.
