North Carolina Specialty Hospital (NCSH) is a specialty hospital located in northern Durham, North Carolina.  The hospital provides orthopaedic, ophthalmogic, otolaryngology (ENT), plastic, and general surgery care, as well as pain management techniques and podiatric care.  NCSH is the oldest hospital in Durham, dating back to 1926, when it was formed as an eye, ear, nose, and throat hospital originally known as McPherson Hospital, named after Dr. Samuel McPherson, an EENT specialist.  In the early-1990s, the hospital was renamed as the North Carolina Eye and Ear Hospital.  It was located at the time in its original building in downtown Durham, near the East Campus of Duke University.  In May 2005, NCSH moved to its current location in northern Durham, and was renamed as North Carolina Specialty Hospital in 2000.
Erwin Mill was a textile mill in Durham, North Carolina that operated between the years of 1893 and 1986.  After seeing the success of other cotton mills in the Northeast and locally in Durham, entrepreneur Benjamin N. Duke incorporated the mill in 1892 and recruited William H. Erwin to manage the enterprise.  The mill’s success in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was the result of Erwin’s and his successors’ exceptional management tactics, even when the factory hit obstacles such as the Great Depression and the unionization of its workers.  The mill grew quickly in the late 19th century and early 20th century, became one of North Carolina’s largest cotton mills.  It originally produced muslin pouches for tobacco, but the mill would later expand its production to other fabrics, becoming one of the largest producers of denim in the world during the early 1900s.  Workers at the mill enjoyed some of the best working conditions and highest wages in textile factories throughout the southern United States.  Mill employees would later sign union-friendly labor agreements that were radical to the southern textile industry in the early to mid 20th century.  The establishment of homes, businesses and recreation areas in the mill village was a significant factor in the development of the West Durham, especially the Ninth Street business district and the Old West Durham Neighborhood.  Erwin Mill No. 1 is on the National Register of Historic Places and the mill village of West Durham is a National Historic District.  An apartment complex, office building and shopping center of the same name that are built on the original site also commemorate the factory.
Tobacco Road is an historic tobacco-producing area of central North Carolina and is often used when referring to sports (particularly basketball) played among rival Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) universities which are located close to each other in North Carolina.  The phrase originated as the title of a novel set in Georgia, but it migrated to North Carolina because of the state's primacy in tobacco production.  Three of the schools (Duke, UNC, and North Carolina State) are part of Research Triangle and are separated by no more than 25 mi , and Wake Forest lies about 100 mi west of the other three.  It was formerly much closer to the other three, having originally been located in the town of Wake Forest, North Carolina, until 1956.  All four are no more than 6 mi from Interstate 40; the road has been called "Tobacco Road" in national sports media.  (However, until the late 1980s—after tobacco had started to decline in North Carolina due to US federal anti-tobacco actions—I-40 did not reach Durham, Chapel Hill, or Raleigh.  Rather, "Tobacco Road" would have been US Highway 70.)  The proximity of these schools to one another and the membership of each school in the Atlantic Coast Conference have created a natural rivalry among students, fans, and alumni.  North Carolina State University's "Red and White Song" mentions each of the four universities in its lyrics.
Born in Durham North Carolina Banner's family moved to Jackson, Mississippi where he was raised.  Banner graduated from Southern University and pursued a masters of education at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.

The Edgemont neighborhood is a community of mill works located in Durham, North Carolina.  Previously known as Smoky Hollow, this area developed around the Durham Hosiery Mills in the late 19th century.  Durham was a “raw whistle-stop village” along the Great North Carolina Central Rail Road that transformed into one of the largest tobacco cities in the United States.  The Durham City Bull became one of the better-known tobacco trademarks with the help of the big players in the industry, W. T. Blackwell and Company and Julian Carr.  The success of these tobacco mills started overflowing into other industries, mainly textile mills that produced cloth bags, socks, and other hosieries.  As demands rose, communities began growing and changing around the factories.  A shift in the racial make up of the workforce was reflected in Edgemont’s shift to a more African American dominant community as the years progressed.  Julian Carr Jr. was one of the first to allow black workers in factory level jobs to help cope with the high demands.  This industrialist’s decision to reach over the race barrier is part of what made Durham “the City of the New South.”  The Edgemont Neighborhood is just one of many examples of how Durham became one of the more progressive and tolerant locations for African Americans in the country.
NC Mutual (originally the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association and later North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company) is an American life insurance company located in downtown Durham, North Carolina and one of the most influential African-American businesses in United States history.  Founded in 1898 by local black social leaders, its business increased from less than a thousand dollars in income in 1899 to a quarter of a million dollars in 1910.  The company specialized in "industrial insurance," which was basically burial insurance.  The company hired salesmen whose main job was to collect small payments (of about 10 cents) to cover the insured person for the next week.  If the person died while insured, the company immediately paid benefits of about 100 dollars.  This covered the cost of a suitable funeral, which was a high prestige item in the black community.  It began operations in the new tobacco manufacturing city of Durham, North Carolina, and moved north into Virginia and Maryland, then to major northern black urban centers, and then to the rest of the urban South.

Operation Breakthrough, an anti-poverty movement, was established in Durham, North Carolina in August 1964.  It played a prominent and influential role in the expansion of the Civil Rights movement in Durham.  Terry Sanford, its founder, managed to develop that through the help and involvement of the North Carolina Fund.  A Member of the Democratic Party, Sanford was the former governor of North Carolina and was highly respected for his intervention in the improvement of public education.  Indeed, in the 1960s, the education system in place in North Carolina was very poor as one quarter of the adults above 25 years old had received an education inferior to sixth grade, making most of them illiterate.  Because of the high success of the program, the concept developed through the North Carolina Fund was mimicked throughout the nation, transforming what initially was a state wide program to a national program.  Throughout this movement, activism played a fundamental role as the main aim of the program consisted in changing the economic situation of a state through the use of political and social power.

The Raleigh–Durham television market includes a broader 24-county area which includes Fayetteville, and has a population of 2,726,000 persons.
Interstate 40 (I-40) is a part of the Interstate Highway System that runs from Barstow, California to Wilmington, North Carolina.  In North Carolina, I-40 enters the state along the Pigeon River Gorge, from Tennessee.  Crossing the entire state, it connects the cities of Asheville, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Durham and Raleigh before ending along U.S. Highway 117/North Carolina Highway 132 (US 117/NC 132) in Wilmington.  The landscapes traversed by I-40 include the Blue Ridge Mountains, foothills of western North Carolina, suburban communities, the urban core of several Piedmont cities, along with eastern North Carolina farmland.  At a total of 423.55 mi , it is the longest interstate highway in North Carolina.  There are five auxiliary Interstates in the state related to I-40, as well as one business loop which currently runs through Winston-Salem.  The route is labeled east-west for the entire route (as are all even-numbered Interstate highways), however the eastern portion (from Hillsboro to Wilmington) follows a much more north-south alignment.
