Family appreciated DCVB materials provided for reunion

I wanted to thank you for the Durham materials your office provided for our family reunion last weekend.We ended up having over 50 out of town family members attend from Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and New Jersey. The adults really loved the Durham African-American history booklet and the Durham church fans were put to great use with the heat. We ended up doing a self-guided walking tour of downtown and Black Wall Street. We've been doing the reunion since 1983 and this is the first time we've had it in Durham. The feedback from the family is that this is the best reunion we've ever had.
