In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized

TedxDuke features several speakers, and the Pauli Murray Center’s Director Barabra Lau was featured in the February edition of the event. Barbara’s TedTalk was called “History in Place: Pauli Murray & Durham.”
