Salvation Army in Ansonia recognizes trailblazer during Black History Month
As we reach the halfway point of Black History Month, we continue to honor trailblazers like Delilah Collier, O.F., whose life was dedicated to faith, inclusion, and service.
In 1977, Delilah co-founded the Eastern Territory Black Ministries Committee to amplify Black voices and advocate for leadership training within The Salvation Army. Her legacy of unwavering hospitality, encouragement, and love is a powerful reminder of the impact one individual can have in shaping a better future.
Let’s continue to celebrate Black history this month, reflecting on powerful stories like Delilah’s, and working together toward equity, love, and justice for all.

From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: Derby Electric Railway
This week's "Turnback Tuesday" features a photo of the first motor ever used on the Derby Electric Railway.
The Railway itself was the first electric road to operate in New England, and the second in the United States. The motor was built by Pullman Palace Co. in Illinois and was put into operation in April of 1888 between Derby and Ansonia.
The Derby Electric Railway was so successful that the Derby Horse Railway became the Derby Street Railway in 1889. However, the life of trolleys was relatively short-lived, as motor buses eventually took over in approximately 1937.
This photograph of the rail-car was taken in the early 1900s at Pine Rock Grove, where the locomotive had been placed as a historical item.
