Nathaniel B. White Sr. blazed a trail at Durham Tech.
He was the College’s first African American Board of Trustee member and a founding member of Durham Industrial Education Center. He was appointed by the Durham County Board of Commissioners and served 32 years as a Trustee.
Tamira White, his granddaughter, said White had an intense passion for equality for Black people and that passion led to the inception of Durham Tech in 1961.
“He taught his children and nieces, and nephews to prepare for integration despite the forces that fought against it. He knew that to be ready for integration we, as people, would need to be educated just as our counterparts. Through his involvement with the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People, he encouraged Blacks to support the bond that would lead to funding for Durham Tech,” she said. “Even though the bond was not intended to benefit Blacks, my grandfather understood that approving the bond would open opportunities for Blacks to receive the education they needed to successfully integrate and succeed.”
