Preservation Durham’s People + Place Speaker Series connects the people of Durham with the importance of our historic, architectural and cultural places and the stories they bring to life.
Join a lively discussion with Debra Taylor Gonzalez-Garcia, President of Friends of Geer Cemetery, as we talk about the history of Geer Cemetery and its creation during Jim Crow.
