Reposted from @thebullsofdurham 😍🐂#DurhamOffTheBeatenPath Entry #144 by Scott Wilkins @scottwil15.⁠ .⁠ Why is the photo is important to the narrative of Durham?⁠ “On an evening in December of 2019, we had the opportunity to take family Christmas pictures on a rooftop in the Downtown city district. Once a small storm cleared the area our 11-year-old was able to capture the beauty of Durham's downtown skyline.”⁠ .⁠ What does Durham mean to you?⁠ “All born and raised and happy to see the revitalization of the Downtown area!”⁠ .⁠ Durham Resident.⁠ .⁠ Click #LinkInBio to stampede over to TheBullsOfDurham.com to cast your daily votes for up to 3 photos.

Reposted from @thebullsofdurham 🔴🐂Stop & think. This post is different. The comments are purposefully turned off because the call to action is to stop & think. To do the work.⁠ .⁠ The purpose of this contest is to show Durham from multiple perspectives beyond the few select places that have been shown repeatedly for years.⁠ .⁠ Only showing the "cleaned-up" version of Durham is just as damaging as the decades of misreported/false/racist news stories about Durham.⁠ .⁠ Why?⁠ .⁠ Because it's not the whole & true story of Durham.⁠ .⁠ When Michael submitted this photo he sent a DM assuming I wouldn't even consider the photo. His submission sparked a growing conversation with our team. Thank you, Michael ❤️🐂.⁠ .⁠ Not including this would make me this biggest hypocrite in the Bull. This photo is just as Durham as every other entry.⁠ .⁠ The SAME DAY, a woman used her photo entry answers to belittle me & the contest - specifically going after the parts that were fun & every conscious part to make this a *fair* contest.⁠ .⁠ Think on this.⁠ .⁠ ❗We've created a Durham where Michael doesn't think he'll get a chance & a white woman thinks it's okay to tear down a company completely comprised of women of color❗.⁠ .⁠ #DurhamOffTheBeatenPath Entry #135 by Michael Garcia @michaelgarciapics.⁠ .⁠ Why is the photo is important to the narrative of Durham?⁠ “It shows a side of Durham people tend to not enjoy looking at but it is a part of Durham and like yall said "Let's show the world Durham in its entirety from multiple perspectives." this is one of the perspectives.”⁠ .⁠ What does Durham mean to you?⁠ “It’s home. It is where I grew up and became who I am.”⁠ .⁠ Durham Resident.⁠ .⁠ Click #LinkInBio to stampede over to TheBullsOfDurham.com to cast your daily votes for up to 3 photos.
