Abstract:

Howard Clement III helped lead a boycott of white Durham merchants from 1968-1969, which began building his legacy as a local civil rights icon. Clement would go on to serve thirty years on the city council, longer than anyone else in Durham's history, before retiring two and a half years ago. He died last Wednesday of complications from Parkinson's disease at the age of eighty-two.
