Abstract:

A collection of photographs of the historic Hayti neighborhood in Durham show its cultural and business life along Pettigrew and Fayetteville streets before urban renewal caused much of it to disappear. Photos show the Regal Theater, R.S. McGhee Coal Co., the Bull City Barber Shop, St. Joseph’s A.M.E Church, and views of the main streets.
