From CCB Plaza, head east to Parrish Street to find the site of historic Black Wall Street, a four-block area known for the success of Black-owned businesses, including North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co. and Mechanics and Farmers Bank in the 1800s and early 1900s. Six historic markers have been erected along the street to honor the legacy of the people and places that were significant to the district's success and to encourage the economic revitalization of the area. View the markers, stop by local businesses, and enjoy the pedestrian-friendly greenspace with public artwork highlighting the legacy of Durham’s African American business community.
