Durham is today the third city in North Carolina in point of popu- lation, having approximately 65,000 inhabitants, and is second in indus- trial payrolls, and second in importance in the value of its manufac- tured products. It is far in the lead in its educational facilities, having an unexcelled public school system and Duke University within its cor- porate limits, and having within a radius of a few miles the University of North Carolina, Wake Forest College, Meredith College, North Caro- lina State College, Peace Institute, St. Mary's, and the Southern Con- servatory of Music.
The colored people have in Durham, in addition to excellent public schools for their l'ace, the North Carolina College for Negroes, the only college of liberal arts for Negroes supported by taxation in the Southern states.
All these things have been accomplished by people not especially favored by nature, but who by their determination, unconquerable will, tireless effort. and by their faith in mankind and in this community, have created a city that proudly takes its position as one of the repre- sentative cities of the new South and of America.
