A very interesting documentary on the Hayti district of Durham, North Carolina. Named after Haiti, Hayti grew to be one of many self-sufficient, thriving black towns or urban districts across the US. It is fitting that this successful enclave of African-Americans in Durham would name their neighborhood after the first independent black republic, Haiti. Also worth checking out is this interview with the man behind the documentary series, and this historic film on Hayti.
