On June 23, 1957 - three years before the famous Greensboro sit-ins – six Black students led by Rev. Douglas Moore sat at the counter reserved for white patrons at the Royal Ice Cream Parlor in Durham. The nonviolent protest would inspire future demonstrations across the South.

“It wasn’t until people actually said that we had changed history that I understood,” - Virginia Williams, member of the Royal Seven.

In Durham, we honor those who came before us and work to uphold their legacies.

Our Story

Maybe you’ve heard about our celebrated food scene, top-notch universities or buzzing startup culture. There’s just something about this place. It transcends categories. Durham has something intangible, inspiring and absolutely alluring.

Before our sidewalks were lined with award-winning eateries, they were traversed by our first generation of industrious entrepreneurs. Seeds of equality and justice were planted here long ago, and they have blossomed into a colorful community where murals tell our proud story of inclusivity. We are where inspiration is found, where all are welcome and where the wild, wonderful, bold and beautiful come together in unexpected ways.

Want in? Come discover Durham.
