DCL at Duke hosts public programs that invite community members, students, educators, and researchers to engage with the history and ongoing significance of the Durham Colored Library. Through presentations, workshops, and cultural heritage events hosted throughout the community, these gatherings bring people together to learn, ask questions, and engage the Durham Colored Library's legacy as an ongoing site of Black knowledge, community life, and educational access in Durham.
