The Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture strives to promote racial understanding, build community, and foster an appreciation for and increase knowledge of Black people, Black history, Black culture, and the vast contributions of people of the African Diaspora. We provide programs and services which contribute to the successful academic and personal development of Black students at Duke University and positively impact the lives of all those whom they encounter. We seek to be a hub for information and activity related to Black students, alumni, and other Black members of the Duke community. We welcome all who seek to engage with and be empowered by
a greater understanding of the Black experience.

Greetings,
As a new member of the community, I know that the task of finding your niche and making this place feel like home may be a bit overwhelming, that is why this guide has been created. The Black Book (aka The Campus & Community Resource Guide), developed at the request of students, provides you with a consolidated source of information on faculty and staff uniquely important to your success and places in the Duke/Durham/Triangle area that will help you adjust to the community.
Your success at Duke is perhaps the single most important measure of our success. We know that this doesn’t simply depend upon your effort alone, for truly it “takes a village” – of supporters and organizations – with caring faculty principal among them.
The staff of the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture (MLWC) is committed to creating connections that strengthen this community. We take great pride in the programs, advising, and support we provide and desire to be an even greater resource to you and the entire community.
We welcome you and your engaged participation in the life of the Center, whether that is through use of our lending library, attendance at programs, or just to hang out with us, your friends and faculty. We trust that your involvement in the Mary Lou will greatly enhance your Duke experience and we know that it will greatly enhance ours.
Have a wonderful year!

black historical presence
prominent figures
Mary Lou Williams (b. 1910 - d. 1981)Renowned pianist, composer, teacher and humanitarian Mary Lou Williams performed with numerous jazz legends and was among the first jazz artists to perform at Carnegie Hall and St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City. Williams taught at Duke University as an Artist-in-Residence from 1977 until her death. She is remembered by artists such as Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk and Bud Powell as one whose musical and spiritual contributions were singular and profound.
Samuel DuBois Cook (b. 1928 - )In 1966, Samuel DuBois Cook became the first black professor at Duke University and has the distinction of being the first African American to hold a regular faculty appointment at any predominantly white college or university in the South. He served as a member of the Duke University Board of Trustees from 1981 - 1993 and was elected by the Board as a Trustee Emeritus in 1993. After earning his A.B. degree from Morehouse College, Dr. Cook received his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from The Ohio State University. Dr. Cook has an outstanding record as a political scientist, scholar, educator and civil rights activist. He continues to participate in the world of scholarship through publications and lectureships. The Samuel DuBois Cook Society was founded in the spring of 1997 to honor the years of service that Dr. Cook has offered to Duke University.
John Hope Franklin (b. 1915 - d. 2009)Dr. John Hope Franklin was born in Rentiesville, Oklahoma in 1915, only fifty years after slavery had been abolished. His father practiced law and his mother taught elementary school, and from an early age the young Franklin learned the power of words and ideas. From his parents he also learned how to survive and thrive in a time when the color line was indelibly drawn. John Hope Franklin was the James B. Duke Professor Emeritus of History, and for seven years was Professor of Legal History in the Law School at Duke University. He received his A. M. and Ph. D. in History from Harvard University. Professor Franklin served on many national commissions and delegations, including the Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy.

The Center was named to honor the great artist, Mary Lou Williams (b.

The choir is one of the oldest student groups on the campus of Duke University. During the mid-sixties, a time when Duke did not openly embrace its cultural and ethnic diversity, the Modern Black Mass Choir was organized in a local church for Duke’s Black students. In 1972, the choir was reorganized as a Duke University student group. During the 1997-1998 school year, in an effort to represent the diversity of the choir members, and above all to emphasize our purpose, the choir was renamed United in Praise. Though the name of the choir has changed, our commitments to Duke University, the Durham community, and Almighty God have remained the same.

In Memory
Raymond Gavins“The Quiet Scholar & Devoted Mentor”
A native of Atlanta, Ray Gavins attended Virginia Union University in Richmond as an undergraduate. After graduating in 1964, he broke color barriers to join the graduate program at the University of Virginia. His arrival at Charlottesville came just two years after rioting during the desegregation of state universities in Mississippi and Alabama. Gavins said he faced struggles but, like many other pioneering African-American students throughout the South at the time, succeeded in winning support through hard work.
Gavins left a legacy of “firsts.” In 1970, he became the first African-American to receive a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia Graduate Schools of Arts and Sciences. He also was the first African-American to join the Duke history faculty.
A veteran of the Civil Rights movement who joined scholarship with activism, Gavins was also known for his mentorship of countless young faculty and students at Duke and institutions across the country.
In a that career spanned forty-five years at Duke, Gavins played a key role in the oral history program, the Center for the Study of Civil Rights and Race Relations, and the Behind the Veil Project of the Center for Documentary Studies. His academic specialties were African-American and American history. As mentioned, he joined the Duke faculty in 1970 and was promoted to associate professor in 1977 and full professor in 1992. His oral history collaboration with researchers at Duke and elsewhere greatly expanded the range of voices available to scholars studying the stories of the Civil Rights era.
His most recent work came out of the Behind The Veil Project, which conducted more than 1,350 oral history interviews with African Americans from across the South, resulting in a new source base for documenting life during the Jim Crow era. Out of this project, Gavins asked how African Americans defined citizenship in the Jim Crow era and the ways they attempted to demand fulfillment of the promises of the Civil Rights constitutional amendments of the Reconstruction period.
He authored two books, co-edited another and published 77 scholarly articles, book chapters, essays, and reviews. His most recent book, “The Cambridge Guide to African American History,” was published in February 2016. It explored the means and strategies that African Americans used to pursue recognition as full citizens of the United States.
Co-recipient of the 1996 Oral History Association Distinguished Oral History Project Award and the 2002 Southern Regional Council Lillian Smith Book Award, Gavins also received the 2008 Southern Historical Association John W. Blassingame Award “in recognition of his distinguished scholarship and mentorship in African American history.”
Professor Gavins, soft Georgian accent, warm smile and generosity of spirit will be missed.
