San Domingo is a small African American community just west of Salisbury, MD. And, there among the tall trees sits what was once the Sharptown Colored School. Built in 1919 it was one of some 5,000 such schools built for African Americans during the time of Jim Crow. Delmarva Public Radio's Don Rush has this look at the school and the community it served.
