Mapping Social Justice Movements in Durham

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.
