In 2021 St. Joseph’s Historic Foundation received an award from the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund, a program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation to support the longevity of African American historic sites.
With support from the AACHAF, work began at the Hayti Heritage Center in July to restore the stained-glass windows, some of which had begun to buckle; to repair casings around the windows; and to replace the outer protective panels on the windows. We are thankful for the commitment made by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and for their support of the Hayti Heritage Center, a national historic treasure. We also thank Salem Glass for their work. Other restoration projects are planned to begin this year.

So, how do you pronounce H-A-Y-T-I ? What are the Hayti Neighborhood’s connections to the island of Haiti? …to Black Wall St.? …to the city of Durham at large? These questions are answered while many more are raised in this 75-minute tour of Fayetteville St., the commercial center of Durham’s largest African American residential neighborhood. Stops include the neighborhood’s founding institutions: St. Joseph’s AME church, The Carolina Times, Stanford L. Warren Library and more! Stories include: Women of Hayti, Power of Black Churches and Urban Renewal. The tour begins and ends at the Hayti Heritage Center.

HAYTI HERITAGE CENTER RE–OPENING UPDATE
To minimize exposure to COVID-19 for patrons, artists, staff, and volunteers, the Hayti Heritage Center will be requiring proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test within 48-hours of our indoor programming. Wearing face masks covering the nose and mouth as well as social distancing are required. The Hayti Heritage Center undergoes increased cleaning procedures before and after all performances, events, and activities.
We appreciate your patience as we navigate the current challenges posed by the surge in COVID–19 cases, and particularly the Delta variant. Although our staff and board of directors look forward to re–opening the Center for events and programs, our first priority remains the health and safety of staff, patrons, vendors, and the general public.Therefore, at this time, we will not accept rental applications for programs and events at Hayti. Unfortunately, current health and safety concerns outweigh our previous plans to re–open right after Labor Day. We will continue to monitor updates and keep you informed of our plans moving forward. Our goal is to re–open as soon as possible, but safely! Thank you.

The Hayti Heritage Center is looking to fill two positions. Please find the job descriptions attached.
Thank you to all those who have applied but the Programming Assistant Position has been filled.
What: Inside Studio Real: A Choreopoetic Sitcom Created by Dasan Ahanu
This is the made up story, of creatives, hired to be cast members on a popular radio program, work together, and not complain about their paychecks. Find out what happens when people who don’t know we are watching start getting real. Inside Studio Real is a wild ride full of music, dance, song, and poetry all delivered in dramatic episodic absurdity. Actors are beloved for how they play their role, but wait until you see how much of a character they are when they are being themselves. Come see this cast bring the scripts they are presented with to life on the radio while filling the studio with their lives (and all that comes with it) during the process. Don’t be scared if you see a bit of yourself on stage, it’s all part of the show.
When: Saturday, February 23rd, 2019
Two Shows: Doors 3pm | 4pm Show Doors 6:30pm | 7:30pm Show
Where: Hayti Heritage Center
Cost: $15 in advance for tickets | $20 day of show
Tickets can be purchased online at www.blackpoetrytheatre.com or in cash at the Hayti Heritage Center box office
