Sue Linderman
Sue Linderman grew up in Wilmington, Delaware, graduating from Mount Pleasant High School before attending Mount Holyoke College, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science. Her 27-year career with the DuPont Company in Wilmington culminated with the spinoff of its Medical X-Ray business via a leveraged buyout that created Sterling Diagnostic Imaging, of which she was its first President. She is especially proud of the long-term R&D investment by her business that developed a selenium array for image capture that is now at the heart of nearly every mammography machine in use in the U.S. Throughout her career, Sue was active in various ‘diversity’ action groups, seeking to pursue equity in the opportunity and treatment of employees, so that each individual’s contributions might be optimized. But it was the series of police shootings of unarmed black men in recent years that galvanized her to develop a better understanding of how we got to where we are. The information being presented here is the result of significant research about our country’s history in this regard. Sue is a co-founder of the Westminster Peace & Justice Work Group in Wilmington that was formed in Spring 2018 with the twin goals of combating violence in Wilmington and promoting racial justice. The Work Group is affiliated with a number of community organizations – the Delaware Center for Justice, Network Delaware, the Campaign to End Debtors Prison, Peace Week Delaware and Smart Justice Delaware, among others.
