Black History Month has a special resonance this year after our recent 40th anniversary Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Celebration at Durham Tech. At the Jan. 17 event, Dean David Long reminded us that Durham Tech started its MLK Day a full two years before the nation would officially celebrate the national holiday – and 16 years before the last state would make it a state holiday.
❤️ Being out in front on MLK Day was nothing new for Durham Tech. When the College started in September 1961, we had a racially integrated board of trustees and student body. This was just a year-and-a half after the February 1, 1960 Woolworth sit-ins in Greensboro and years before the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act. This community and this college were not waiting, they were acting.
💛 During Black History Month this year, we will be running stories from our 60 for 60 series (from our 60th anniversary year) each week to celebrate Durham Tech moments and achievements that have added to our local, state and national historical record.
💚 We will start by sharing the story of our founding board and the context of economic change and racial conflict in which they were working to launch the College.

It is our honor to be part of a great history of impact at Durham Tech and our responsibility to continue that work.
