In Claymont, Deleware, 8 African American parents complained about their children not being allowed to attend the Claymont public school.

Instead, they had to attend Howard high school in Wilmington. The latter was a lesser school, while the setting in Claymont was much more suited for learning.

In Hockessin, Mrs. Sarah Bulah wanted her daughter to be able to attend the public school instead of driving her daughter to an inadequate, one room school for blacks. Namely, she wanted the white bus that passed her house daily to service her daughter.

She also engaged Louis Redding to represent her after her requests to both the Governor and the Department of Public Education were denied.

The 8 parents hired Louis Redding as their attorney after being denied by education officials.

There were two cases, both with the similar issues, tried in Deleware in 1952:

Bulah v. Gebhart
