This month marks the 52nd anniversary of the sit-ins at Durham’s Royal Ice Cream Parlor, where seven African-Americans made a courageous attempt to integrate the racially segregated establishment. Last year, their efforts were commemorated with a historical marker, largely in part to the activism of R. Kelly Bryant Junior. Bryant has long been a voice of civil rights in the Durham community and he's also a local historian with stories of the Bull City that stretch back to the early 20th century. Join host Frank Stasio for a conversation with Bryant about equality and community involvement.
