As part of the multi-university Journeys Toward Justice(link is external) collaboration, Duke Civic Engagement(link is external) presents the Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice.
This virtual tour is about what protests and social justice activism have looked like in Durham, NC. This tour will reflect on how power structures related to race, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, class, and ability have oppressed groups in the past and present. Together, we’ll get a chance to examine what effective activists have done, such as using their political power, providing financial resources, or raising awareness, to aid the activism efforts against structural discrimination. Everyone will be invited to reflect on their personal experience with activism and how we might deconstruct these harmful power structures.
