The Selective Buying Campaign began in July 1968, as an organization called the Black Solidarity Committee for Community Improvement demanded changes in welfare, housing, and employment practices in the city of Durham, North Carolina. The boycott ended on February 16, 1969, by all accounts, successfully.
![The Hayti Community, Durham, North Carolina, ca. 1944
Following the Civil War, African Americans settled in southwest edge of Durham, North Carolina. In the beginning, the area provided labor for Durham’s burgeoning tobacco industry. Over time, Hayti began to thrive and prosper. The community became the home of historic black institutions such as North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company, Lincoln Hospital and North Carolina College for Negroes (which later became North Carolina Central University). Durham was a hub for black enterprise, education and culture and a model for self-reliance and opportunity.
