Durham HistoryEducation

In 1887, Trinity College moved from Randolph County to Durham� Washington Duke and Julian Carr donated money and

land to facilitate the move� Following a $40 million donation by Washington Duke’s son, James Buchanan Duke, Trinity College was renamed Duke University in 1924�

In 1910, Dr� James E� Shepard founded North Carolina Central University, the nation’s first publicly supported liberal arts college for African-Americans�

African-American Enterprise

After the Civil War, the African American economy progressed through a combination of vocational training, jobs, land ownership, business ownership, and community leadership� In 1898, John Merrick founded North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, which today is the largest and

oldest African American owned life insurance company in the nation� With its founding in 1907, M&F Bank became one of the nation’s strongest African American owned and managed bank� So many other businesses joined these two in Durham’s Parrish Street neighborhood that the area became famous across the country as “Black Wall Street�”

Civil Rights

The Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People, organized in 1935 by C�C� Spaulding and Dr� James E� Shepard, has been cited nationally for its role in the sit-in movements of the 1950’s-60’s� The committee also has used its voting strength to pursue social and economic rights for African-

Americans and other ethnic groups�

In the late 1950’s, Reverend Douglas Moore, minister of Durham’s Asbury Temple Methodist Church, along with other religious and community leaders, pioneered sit-ins throughout North Carolina to protest discrimination at lunch counters that served only whites� A sit-in at a Woolworth’s counter in Greensboro, NC, captured the nation’s attention� Within days, Dr� Martin Luther King Jr� met Reverend Moore in Durham, where Dr� King coined his famous rallying cry “Fill up the jails,” during a speech at White Rock Baptist Church�

Advocating non-violent confrontation with segregation laws for the first time, Dr� King said, “Let us not fear going to jail� If the officials threaten to arrest us for standing up for our rights, we must answer by saying that we are willing and prepared to fill up the jails of the South�”

History

When the North Carolina General Assembly enacted House Bill 18 on March 1, 1939, it paved the way for a new generation of African-American lawyers� The bill, authorizing a law school at North Carolina College for Negroes, was passed 25 years after Shaw

University, in Raleigh, N�C�, closed its law school in 1914, a move that left no in-state option for blacks to receive a formal education in law�





Following the Great Depression, the legislation was, in theory, a way to create a separate-but-equal option for blacks who wanted to become lawyers, without integrating the law school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill�

House Bill 18 authorized the Board of Trustees to establish the North Carolina College for Negroes Law School and announced it would open in the fall of 1939� Due to the amount of time the college had to prepare and advertise the law school, only one student registered, resulting in the administration delaying the opening to the following year�

Law School Dean Maurice T� Van Hecke, who was also dean of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) law school, solicited advice and opinions about the school’s curriculum from black attorneys and others� In December 1939, Durham Attorney C� Jerry Gates thanked Van Hecke for providing him a copy of the law school’s bulletin� He also wrote:

I am profoundly of the opinion that the legal education of the Negro in the South has been grossly neglected… The lawyer, in America, comes within the class of the accepted leaders of his people, and if the Negro is to keep pace with his fellow white citizens, he must develop within his ranks strong, competent and outstanding lawyers�

Gates’ letter went on to express his disappointment that the Law School had no blacks on the faculty� Having even a part-time black on the faculty, he argued, “would have gone a long way in disabusing the average Negro’s mind of the popular notion that the Negro can’t serve in such capacity and to a great extent that he is prohibited from practicing law in the south as the white lawyer does�”

“I am aware of the fact that a conscientious effort was made to secure some qualified Negro to act in this capacity,” he continued� “However, I can’t help but regret that such an effort was not successful�”

Also in December 1939, Winston-Salem Attorney W� Avery Jones wrote Van Hecke that the curriculum outlined in the bulletin “meets with my approval in every way�” “There is one suggestion that I should like to make relative to the colored law school,” he continued�

In view of the fact that there are so few law offices into which the graduates may enter and gain practical experience after graduation and admission to the Bar, it is very necessary that these students be given as much practical training in the law school as possible� It is one thing to know the principles of law involved and what ought to be done; but, an entirely different thing to know how to do it� I, therefore, suggest that the students be given practical training in drawing all kinds of papers so that they will be somewhat self reliant when they enter the field�
