Reposted from @thebullsofdurham 🔴🐂Stop & think. This post is different. The comments are purposefully turned off because the call to action is to stop & think. To do the work.⁠ .⁠ The purpose of this contest is to show Durham from multiple perspectives beyond the few select places that have been shown repeatedly for years.⁠ .⁠ Only showing the "cleaned-up" version of Durham is just as damaging as the decades of misreported/false/racist news stories about Durham.⁠ .⁠ Why?⁠ .⁠ Because it's not the whole & true story of Durham.⁠ .⁠ When Michael submitted this photo he sent a DM assuming I wouldn't even consider the photo. His submission sparked a growing conversation with our team. Thank you, Michael ❤️🐂.⁠ .⁠ Not including this would make me this biggest hypocrite in the Bull. This photo is just as Durham as every other entry.⁠ .⁠ The SAME DAY, a woman used her photo entry answers to belittle me & the contest - specifically going after the parts that were fun & every conscious part to make this a *fair* contest.⁠ .⁠ Think on this.⁠ .⁠ ❗We've created a Durham where Michael doesn't think he'll get a chance & a white woman thinks it's okay to tear down a company completely comprised of women of color❗.⁠ .⁠ #DurhamOffTheBeatenPath Entry #135 by Michael Garcia @michaelgarciapics.⁠ .⁠ Why is the photo is important to the narrative of Durham?⁠ “It shows a side of Durham people tend to not enjoy looking at but it is a part of Durham and like yall said "Let's show the world Durham in its entirety from multiple perspectives." this is one of the perspectives.”⁠ .⁠ What does Durham mean to you?⁠ “It’s home. It is where I grew up and became who I am.”⁠ .⁠ Durham Resident.⁠ .⁠ Click #LinkInBio to stampede over to TheBullsOfDurham.com to cast your daily votes for up to 3 photos.

#Repost @thebullsofdurham (with @report.for.insta) ... 🐂Durham's Black Wall Street continues to live on through 4th generation Durhamites like @JoyeSpeight & her brother @DougSpeight.⁠ .⁠ Aside from @NCMutual & @MFBank_NC, very few of the original Black Wall Street businesses are still operating today. 1️⃣ of those businesses is Speight Auto Services Center, whose story traces back to friendship with the Duke family. Theodore Roosevelt Speight came to Durham in 1932 with little to his name, & in 1938, he opened up his own business.⁠ .⁠ As to just how little he had when he came to Durham remains a source of family debate. NCCU Archivist @AndreVann7’s book "Durham’s Hayti" states it was 83 cents, which would be $15.21 in 2019 money. His granddaughter Joye Speight recalls, ⁠ .⁠ “My family has been here for 4 generations. My grandfather came to Durham from Greene County with about $11 in his pocket. Me & my brother fight over this amount—somewhere between $11 & $13 in his pocket. He started Speights Auto, which is now 1 of the oldest businesses still in existence from #BlackWallStreet.⁠ .⁠ “My grandfather, his brother Charlie, & their cousin Albert came up. My grandfather was actually working for one of the cousins of the Dukes, not the actual Dukes, but one of the cousins of the Dukes, who had an auto shop.⁠ .⁠ "He was working with them for a while. He was top salesman, top mechanic. Decided he was going to open up his own shop. That family, the Dukes & the cousin's family, actually became his 1st investors. That's how he built Speights Auto.⁠ .⁠ "The Speights have been in Durham forever. My grandfather was 1 of the founders of the Durham Business & Professional Chain, which was to help African American business owners band together, & create a sense of community, & talk about real issues, & help each other by investing in each other's businesses. It's still happening today.”⁠ .⁠ This is a mini-excerpt from @TheBullsOfDurham Chapter 3: Bull City History is #BlackHistory.⁠ .⁠ #BlackHistoryMonth #TheBullsOfDurham⁠ .⁠ #WelcomeToTheBullCity #DurhamCreatives #ExploreDurham #BullCity #BullCityNC #DurhamHistory #BullCityHistory #NCWriter #BullCityLove #BullCityStrong #Du (at Durham, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8T905DJYbV/?igshid=h1ll9izetmkh

#Repost @thebullsofdurham (with @report.for.insta) ... 🐂Richard Fitzgerald’s bricks 🧱 *literally* laid the foundation for Durham’s #BlackWallStreet, which was primarily Parrish Street but also included the thriving businesses in the Hayti community that was plowed down during Urban Renewal to put in the Durham Freeway.⁠ .⁠ Entrepreneurs John Merrick, Aaron Moore, & Charles Spaulding took the next steps by ushering in North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company beginning in 1898.⁠ .⁠ Merrick had a longstanding, well-known friendship with Washington Duke.⁠ .⁠ Washington openly provided monetary support to Merrick & several other Black-owned businesses. He also openly advised Merrick in business matters, sharing insight that had long been withheld from African-Americans.⁠ .⁠ At the time this was completely unheard of in America, let alone in the South.⁠ .⁠ NC Mutual would become the largest Black-owned business in the world.⁠ .⁠ @NCMututal continues to do business over 120 years later in the Tower at Mutual Plaza located at 411 West Chapel Hill Street in Durham.⁠ .⁠ The building is in the midst of a multimillion-dollar revitalization that includes a coworking space predominately for Black-owned businesses and artists. The name is @Provident1898 in honor NC Mutual’s original name in 1898 of the NC Mutual & Provident Association.⁠ .⁠ This is a mini-excerpt from @TheBullsOfDurham living history book, Chapter 3: Bull City History IS #BlackHistory.

#Repost @thebullsofdurham (with @report.for.insta) ... 🐂Durham’s Black Wall Street. Throughout America, there were several Black Wall Streets, a term given to concentrated, prospering Black businesses starting in the early 1900s.⁠ .⁠ Three of the most well known Black Wall Streets in America were Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Jackson Ward in Richmond, Virginia & Parrish Street in Durham, North Carolina.⁠ .⁠ While much of the Black Wall Street in Tulsa was destroyed by race riots in 1921 & Jackson Ward was ravaged by Urban Renewal, Durham’s Black Wall Street flourished.⁠ .⁠ Richard Fitzgerald’s bricks literally laid the foundation for Durham’s Black Wall Street, which was primarily #ParrishStreet but also included the thriving businesses in the Hayti community that was plowed down during Urban Renewal to put in the Durham Freeway.⁠ .⁠ This is a mini-exceprt from @TheBullsOfDurham living history book, Chapter 3: Bull City History IS #BlackHistory⁠ .⁠ #BlackHistoryMonth⁠ #TheBullsOfDurham⁠ .⁠ 📸: @barrett_jorgensen⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ #WelcomeToTheBullCity #DurhamCreatives #ExploreDurham #DukeUniversity #NCCU #ResearchTriangle #BullCity #BullCityNC #DurhamHistory #BullCityHistory #DiscoverDurham #DowntownDurham #NCWriter #DurhamBlogger #BullCityLove #BullCityArt #DurhamArt #DurhamArtist #BullCityStrong #DurHome⁠ #BullCityPride #BullCityProud #Durm #DurhamNC @DurhamNC (at Durham, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8IlaQ_JSVw/?igshid=g4wzng7kzqq6
