Jessie Redmon Fauset (April 27, 1882 – April 30, 1961) was an African American editor, poet, essayist, novelist, and educator.
 Fauset’s literary work helped sculpt African American literature in the 1920s as she focused on portraying a true image of African American life and history.

 From 1919-1926, Fauset’s position as literary editor of "The Crisis," a NAACP magazine, allowed her to contribute to the Harlem Renaissance by promoting literary work that related to the social movements of this era.

 She wanted a realistic and positive representation of the African American community in literature that had never before been as prominently displayed.
 Before and after working on "The Crisis," she worked for decades as a French teacher in public schools in Washington, DC and New York City.
 She published four novels during the 1920s and 1930s, exploring the lives of the black middle-class.

Louis Austin (1898-1971) was an African American journalist, leader and social activist.
 Austin purchased "The Carolina Times" in 1927 and transformed it into an institution that aided African Americans in their fight for freedom and equality in North Carolina.
 He used a new approach to Civil Rights issues in Durham, incorporating lower and middle class blacks, unlike the moderate, accommodationist approach of the black elite in Durham during this time.
 Austin's unusual strategy of advocating for the majority of blacks to have a voice in society succeeded in galvanizing a broader segment of the African American community in Durham to act for social change.
 Austin's approach to black activism helped lay the groundwork for the modern Civil Rights Movement in Durham in the late 1950s and 1960s, which also encouraged lower-income blacks to become politically active.
 His strategies—which were once considered too radical by his peers—allowed Austin to maintain his influence in Durham well into the 1950s and 1960s.
 In doing so, Austin created a lasting impact for Durham.
