  • On this Trail of History we explore the life of North Carolina native James Buchanan Duke. We travel to his birthplace in Durham NC. Explore how he and the Duke Family rose out of poverty to become business giants and whose legacy in philanthropy still impacts so many of us today. And meet the artist tasked with creating a new statue to represent James Duke on Charlotte's Little Sugar Creek Greenway. James B. Duke, only on Trail of History.

    Just to be clear James B Duke never owned slaves, if you watch the video the war was over when he was still a kid lol

    Inspiring story and legacy 👍 what happened to JB Duke‘s enterprise and family? Is the business converted into Duke Energy? Are most family members / offsprings living in NC now?

      The Duke family is spread out in most southern states.

      So this episode was made before CPCC and WTVI merged. It was on the CPCC TV TH-cam channel and those videos were not transferred over. Right now there are no plans to add those older episodes to the current WTVI TH-cam channel.

    Humble roots? I don’t think poor people could afford slaves. But nevertheless they were talented business people.
