Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People

Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People Created in 1935 with the mission of fighting for civil rights for African-Americans in Durham, North Carolina, an effort that is still needed today.

In the early years of the Durham Committee, its focus was registering voters, finding black candidates to run for office, getting them elected and others appointed to citizens boards. They also worked to assure that there would be equality for blacks in education and employment opportunities. The Durham Committee played a vital role in the Civil Rights Movement, hosting Dr. Martin Luther King several times during that time. The Committee is still committed to actively addressing the issues important to the black community. It is continuously seeking new members and keeping up with current issues and providing information regarding events important to the citizenry.
