Durham's Black Wall Street was the hub for hundreds of Black-owned businesses & financial services during the late 1800s & early 1900s.

Located on Parrish Street, it acquired a national reputation for entrepreneurship. #ncpol

North Carolina’s place in the civil rights movement is largely synonymous with the Greensboro sit-in at Woolworth’s in 1960. But 3 years prior, a group known as “The Royal Seven” challenged segregation at Durham’s Royal Ice Cream Parlor #BlackHistoryMonth

On this day 62 years ago, 4 @ncatsuaggies students sat-in at the whites–only lunch counter at Woolworth’s in Greensboro.

Their nonviolent action helped ignite a youth-led movement that challenged racial inequality nationwide #BlackHistoryMonth #NCHistory

"This #BlackHistoryMonth, I encourage you to think about who’s in the room, who’s the only one in the room, who decides who gets to be in the room. It’s one part of a bigger, broken system you may actually have the power to change".
