Staff Christmas Dinner

Title:

Staff Christmas Dinner

Description:

This photograph from the Ted Minah collection captures a celebratory Christmas dinner for the staff of Duke University Food Services. Minah was the director of dining services from 1946 to 1974. As the second largest private employer in North Carolina, Duke has always hired much of its service workforce from the Durham area’s working class, many of whom were and are people of color. Dining staff have always been an important part of the functioning of Duke.
