Abstract:

In 1995, when three residents in the Old West Durham neighborhood began racially intimidating some others, over 50 citizens organized the Old West Durham Neighborhood Association to deal with it. The three are now gone, and the association takes pride in its achievement of diversity, harmony, and community. The INDEPENDENT awarded the group a 1998 Citizen Award.
