Durham is a special site in the African American experience. The city served as a thriving hub of business and commerce, an economic refuge, and a symbol of progress. Visitors like W.E.B. DuBois and Booker T. Washington marveled at the city as a model for the black middle class, and it's no wonder why when you learn what Durham's African American population achieved: from the foundation of the largest black-owned company of the 20th Century to the formation of a brick-making juggernaut that physically built much of the city, and much, much more. Durham also hosts "Parrish Street", the best preserved "black business district" in the country, an attraction that leaves quite the impression. This tour is hosted by a local historian who wants to share his love of Durham's history with you. Travel between these sites and gain a new perspectives on the triumphs and challenges of Durham's history.

A reformer, educator, writer, and revolutionary: few people in American history can boast a legacy as multifaceted and impactful as Leonidas Lafayette Polk. Hailing from an important family in North Carolina, Polk served in the American Civil War and returned home to find North Carolina's farmers struggling under the burden of debt, poverty, and a lack of educational opportunities. Leonidas L. Polk dedicated his life to fiercely fighting for the rights and interests of North Carolina's farmers in any way he could. This included publishing newspapers for farmers, creating farmers' educational institutions, and pushing for a revolutionary new approach to politics. Polk would change the lives of farmers and the history of America forever. On this tour of his house in Raleigh, explore the history and impact of Col. Leonidas L. Polk in his house, built in 1891.
