HAYTI: THE LEGACY OF BLACK AMERICA
Produced by: Cultural Heritage Group and Triangle Virtual Media subsidiaries of McMillian Entertainment Co., LLC and Kelvin D. Allen & Associates
Written by: Victor Stone, Jaisun McMillian and Kelvin De’Marcus Allen
This project is a collaborative effort of people with a stake in Durham, North Carolina and the Hayti Community. Some grew up here and moved away, some grew up here and never left; and others bring a fresh perspective to a new legacy with possibilities, yet to be built.
