(7)

Whistle Stop Tours strives to be a contributing voice in shaping the public memory of North Carolina's slave past and African American achievement. New transplants to the area often do not know the neighborhoods' history; with homes being renovated or simply torn down, the public history of African Americans is incomplete. In a time of mass displacement, food deserts, and state-sanctioned killings

of Black people, it is important that the band of Black men and women coming out of slavery — the forefathers and foremothers of Durham's Hayti and Black Wall Street — be celebrated, elevated, and emulated.Whistle Stop Tours collaborates with local communities and organizations to preserve historic African American neighborhoods threatened by displacement through the uncovering, reclaiming, and restoring of neighborhood histories; and through the activation of cultural memories through place-based embodied storytelling -- performing Blackness as aesthetic, ritual, healing, and advocacy.
