W.E.B. Du Bois visits Parrish Street to see Black Durham’s business district for himself.
On a few blocks of Parrish Street, Black Durham built banks, insurance companies and businesses that people traveled to see. They called it Black Wall Street.
For one weekend in May, the street fills up again. Riders, runners and walkers. Founders and vendors. Families, clubs and crews.
You don’t come to Parrish Street to look at history. You come to move through it.
