“Return to Hockessin No. 107C” unearths the forgotten story of alumni from the Hockessin Colored School No. 107C in upstate rural Delaware. James "Sonny" Knott, shown, is among the former students who share accounts of the backlash they faced after their school closed in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling that struck down segregation nationwide, and the challenges of being among the first Black children to integrate all-white schools.
