In the coming weeks, certain Wilmington officials will be obligated to sit through a training session about the First Amendment.
In addition to holding a First Amendment training course, the city also agreed to pay $11,500 to the ACLU and to the activist, Haneef Salaam.
This mandate is part of a settlement Wilmington reached last fall with the American Civil Liberties Union of Delaware and with a local activist who claimed that officials violated the Constitution in the summer of 2024 when they cancelled an event planned at a city-owned park that would include criticisms of police.
