History of Hayti[edit]
The name “Hayti” pays homage to the historic Hayti District that is now part of the city of Durham, NC. African-Americans named the community “Hayti” after Haiti—the first free, independent black republic in the Western Hemisphere.
Hayti was the first black community to become fully self-sufficient in America. Hayti flourished from the 1880s to the 1940s and became known as the “The Black Capital of the South.” The original “Black Wall Street” referred to Parrish Street in downtown Durham and the historic Hayti neighborhood which was the heart of Durham’s Black Wall Street.

The platform (both website as well as mobile application) features curated news and information on conversations, interviews, breaking news, the Black Lives Matter movement, and every other current event happening in the Black community.
