Julian Francis Abele 1881-1950 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Anyone who has published a book knows that it is a collaborative enter- prise. Certainly a book such as this one has benefited greatly from the co- operation, assistance, wisdom, and generosity of many people. It is not possible to name all of the people who have contributed, in one way or another, to the work that has gone into this book. I would like to mention several people whose vision and support made the book possible. Credit lor the idea of a commemorative event in recog- nition of the first thirty years of black students at Duke grew out of a con- versation I had with Professor Jerome Culp of Duke University Law School at the ACC tournament in the spring of 1992. President H. Keith H. Brodie enthusiastically supported the idea and appointed the planning committee that I chaired. Those persons who have made special contributions to this book have been mentioned elsewhere in the book. I would like to make note here of the invaluable help and support received from Mr. Laney Funderburk, as- sociate vice president and director of alumni affairs, Mr. John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs, Mr. William King, the archivist for Duke University', and Professor Emeritus Jack J. Preiss for the much- needed thoughtful review and feedback on the manuscript tor this book. The contributions of Dr. Brenda Armstrong and the dav-to-dav atten- tion to this project by my executive assistant Michael L. Hunt were indis- pensable to the successful completion of this project. — Leonard C. Beckum 9 CONTENTS Foreword / John Hope Franklin I Introduction / Leonard C.

  • 2011 Annual Report the Duke Endowment in Charlotte, North Carolina, Is a Private Foundation Established in 1924 by Industrialist and Philanthropist James B
    TH E UNFOL D ING S T ORY The Duke Endowment 100 North Tryon Street, Suite 3500 Charlotte, North Carolina 28202-4012 Telephone 704.376.0291 dukeendowment.org 2011 annual report The Duke Endowment in Charlotte, North Carolina, is a private foundation established in 1924 by industrialist and philanthropist James B. Duke. We seek to fulfill his dream for the Carolinas by enriching lives and communities through children’s services, health care, higher education and rural churches. Mr. Duke’s legacy endures today in every life touched, every institution advanced, every innovation discovered. LETTER FROM L. NEIL WILLIAMS JR. THE PRESIDENT 1936-2012 our founder, james b. duke, was thinking strategically in 1924 when he created The Duke Endowment to “make provision in some measure for the needs of mankind along physical, mental and spiritual lines.” He could have extended the aid to other charities and beyond the Carolinas, he wrote, “but my opinion is that so doing probably would be productive of less good.” When we talk about “productive” grantmaking today, we are thinking about results. Sometimes, philanthropy leads to immediate results that are highly visible. Eugene W. Cochrane Jr., A state-of-the-art facility rises on a college campus – and students have a new President place to learn. A nurse provides counsel – and a pregnant woman stops smoking. A congregation builds affordable housing – and a family finally has a home. With some grants, however, results unfold over time. On the following pages, you’ll read about a thriving initiative that’s entering a “2.0” phase. You’ll learn about a successful effort that is being replicated elsewhere.
