Abstract:

The Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People is holding its biennial election. The committee controls much of the Durham City Council and the Durham Board of Commissioners. No one is quite sure where the group is headed as there are splits between those who want to focus on social action and those who want to focus on economic action. Regardless, the results will determine the black community’s role in Durham’s future.
