    On March 12, 1944, the Duke University Medical School basketball team traveled to play North Carolina Central University (NCCU), then called the North Carolina College for Negroes, for Duke’s first integrated basketball game. NCCU, Duke’s Durham neighbor, was founded in 1909 as a historically Black college. Duke was still segregated and years away from playing its first integrated varsity game. There were no spectators and only one reporter from the Carolina Times (who agreed not to write about the game). The NCCU Eagles, coached by John McClendon, beat the Medical Center squad 88-44. Scott Ellsworth (T’77, Ph.D.’82) first wrote a New York Times article in 1996 documenting this game after interviewing NCCU coach John McClendon.

    This spread from the 2006 Duke yearbook, The Chanticleer, showcases the outrage and confusion experienced by the student body when members of the men’s lacrosse team were accused of sexual assault. The team's record of problematic behavior, the racial dynamics between the almost all-white team and the Black female accuser, and statements by then-District Attorney Mike Nifong led many community members to assume the players were guilty. Nifong later admitted to withholding evidence that proved the three accused teammates' innocence. All charges were eventually dropped and Nifong was disbarred. The scandal is remembered as one of the darkest moments in Duke history, sparking deep reflection about the roles that racism, misogyny, and privilege played in Durham, at Duke, and in sports.

    Founded in 1906 at Trinity College, the organization now called the Duke University Marching Band (DUMB) has played an important role in the Duke athletic experience, particularly basketball and football. This drum head was used in the 1958 Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida, between Duke and the University of Oklahoma. It was ruptured during practice and signed by drum corps members. In recent years, the Duke Band has added a pre-season band camp and continues to gain recognition throughout the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Following their four-year undefeated streak, Duke would record their first loss, a 3-7 fall to Oregon State.
