Expand your understanding of innovation and entrepreneurship in Durham. Join us on a 90-minute walking tour to learn about Black Wall Street, Black Durham’s financial district that first began to prosper in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Whistle Stop Tours, a performance-based walking tour company in Durham, “strives to be a contributing voice in shaping the public memory of North Carolina’s slave past and African American achievement.” (https://hayti.org/community-tours/). The performers present a unique historical narrative that provides more context on our present-day Durham.
This event is sponsored by Duke Service-Learning and is part of the Context & Connections Series that provides immersive experiences in Durham for Duke faculty, staff, students and alumni.
