Excerpt:
Soon after their move, believing in Christian education, Dad and Mother joined a few couples to start Delaware County Christian School in 1949. Writing the founding documents, Dad pushed through the adoption of a policy that Blacks would be free to enroll their children. Note this was back in 1949, a mere nine years after President Buswell was fired by Wheaton's trustees on January 20, 1940.

For myself, I have no doubts Dr. Buswell's own commitments and teaching against segregation in educational institutions was a critical part of my father's ethical formation concerning racial matters. For this reason, with clear determination, Dad led the other founders of Delaware County Christian School to write into the school's bylaws that Black applicants would be accepted.
