It was dope. Attended Jumbalaya Poetry Slam. Listened to some talented brothers and sisters. Will definitely attend again.

An historic gem that holds great significance in the cultural canon of African American experience and contributions to Durham, NC and the world. I Love this place!

A culturally and historically significant art center with friendly, helpful, progressive staff and outstanding programs.

Wonderful venue. My daughter had her baby shower there.

Had a great time and I sucked in the spirit of the ancestors and the history of it all.

It was extremely pleasant to be in that historical building. The expanse of heavy old wood that has been richly cared for in the main sanctuary was breathtaking. The event I was there for didnt afford the opportunity to tour the entire building but I truly enjoyed the sanctuary & the reception area. The acoustics in the sanctuary were excellent as well.

Beautiful place and beautiful people! I cant wait for the next We are the Gold Event!

Decent place, Asked questions during Kwanza Event and the staff wasnt too friendly. Parking here is not the best . Ill do a revisit and hopefully have a better experience .

Modern Facilities with multiple rooms for large events, forums and conventions

Great place

Hayti Heritage Center was the original St. Joseph AME Church. This location has beautiful stained glass windows and beautiful acoustic. Its the location of many Durham community events and therefore has a warm & friendly atmosphere.

Excellent explanation of Medicare for All proposal brought by members of several organizations.

Very lil security and the wrong color too of police supoort if you ask me. Look like intimidation not protection. Black Wall street they use to call the city of Durham. Well thats all changing now and they are doing like always. Let it fall apart to come back and take it over and run us out with over priced development.

Come and be amazed and educated. A beautiful atmosphere.

Really great customer service by Jon Paul

We need to support more events at the wonderful historical location

Excellent cultural experience.

Very intimate place. Love the old structure of the building.

Me and my grandson had a great time Ill here on Saturday 10-20-2018 The program ya have for the whole day was excellent and I enjoy Betty Reed

Part of a great staff here. We offer rental space for events and there is great art here. We also host a film festival in February and have a awesome poetry team that competes here Monthly. ...

The Campbell Brothers played here several years ago and they were unforgettable. This is a must see if you visit Durham. Ive attended several events here: concerts, and poetry readings, and its historical and beautiful.Recently I attended a wedding here and the experience was marred by a woman, from the staff I assume, who yelled at me for parking behind another car at this very crowded event. There was only one, ONE, accessible parking space even tho there was a large sign pointing to accessible parking. This person continued to berate me as I went to the entrance of the church, threatening to have my car towed, a very unpleasent experience.Thats why I came down from my usual 5 star rating for this review. There should have been a professional directing the situation, preferably on the ground, rather than from on high on the upper level.

Fun and family filled atmosphere

Lovely center for expression

Saw an amazing play/spoken word. Very calm vibe.

Great venue for public rehearsals and performances. Neat balcony.

I attended a performance of the Durham Symphony Jazz orchestra featuring a salute to Ella Fitzgerald. It was an excellent event-on time and very professional.

Great place for a range of events and there is so much history there!!

A great place to visit and tons of history. The church is breathtakingly beautiful!

Nice place to visit

The Center is nice but the heat was out during our families event .

Beautiful space. Friendly staff. Captivating artwork on the walls.

I saw Pump Boys and the Dinettes there...wonderful time and a beautiful building.

The staff we friendly, we were made welcome. The facility was clean and everything was in order.

This center has a handsome santa during the christmas holidays. Perfectly natural white hair and always remembers the kids the next year!!!!

Living history

Not very friendly or helpful on each visit. The man behind the glass. Mr Markus offered just enough information so he didnt have to get up and show anyone around. Asking for room rental rates I was asked to call back several times over three months. Mr. Markus didnt know Mrs. Polly in the back when she was available didnt know and the director was not available. After being told Tuesdays and Thursdays were available. It was suddenly booked by a yoga class and the room was not available any longer. I have the destinct feeling I didnt know the secret handshake Or grease the right palm. Good to see the old boys network alive and well in impoverished areas of Durham.

A LOT OF HISTORY HERE AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS.

Didnt have the opportunity to learn their mission and services.

Attended an excellent event here! It was the Jambalaya Soul Poetry Event.

The owner of operations is a sweetheart. I had my wedding here and LOVED it!

I had a feild trip with my kids at the Hayti Heritage Place.
