Join us at the Founder's Lounge on July 10th. https://lnkd.in/eX7fmVTE
Hi friends! Just wanted to share something I created at Provident1898. I saw a photo that sparked the inspiration for The Founder's Lounge. When the original founders of NC Mutual—Dr. A.M. Moore, John Merrick, T.D. Watson, W.G. Pearson, P.W. Dawkins, Edward Johnson, and J.E. Shepard—gathered in their office on Parrish Street, we imagine the tone of the room might have been inspirational, invigorating yet intense all in one. These visionaries didn't just stop at NC Mutual; they laid the groundwork for other remarkable institutions such as: M&F Bank NC: The second oldest minority-owned bank in the United States. North Carolina Central University: The oldest publicly funded liberal arts college for African Americans in the nation. Lincoln Hospital: The first hospital in Durham to provide care for African Americans. It's important to me to pay homage to the work of these founders while also recognizing that some of y'all are experiencing the same kind of feelings as founders and need a space to be free. Join us at The Founder's Lounge. Oh I forgot to mention our good friend The Black Bourbon Guy will be pouring some divine pours of Bourbon. See you on July 10th. https://lnkd.in/ea4MrceJ
