N.C. Mutual executive R. Kelly Bryant, Jr., tosses lollipops, and Santa Claus (William McBroom) receives onlookers' cheers during a "Black Christmas" parade, November 29, 1968. Sponsored by the Black Solidarity Committee for Community Improvement as part of its boycott of certain white-owned businesses, the parade was held on Fayetteville Street at the same time as the Durham Merchants Association's traditional parade downtown.
