Louis Austin
Louis Austin (1898-1971) was an African American journalist, leader and social activist. Austin purchased The Carolina Times and transformed it into an institution that aided African Americans in their fight for freedom and equality in North Carolina. He used a new approach to Civil Rights issues in Durham, incorporating lower and middle class blacks, unlike the moderate, accommodator's approach of the black elite in Durham during this time. Austin's unusual strategy of advocating for the majority of blacks to have a voice in society succeeded in galvanizing a broader segment of the African American community in Durham to act for social change. Austin's approach to black activism anticipated Durham's civil rights movement in the late 1950s and 1960s, which also encouraged lower-income blacks to become politically active. His strategies -- which were once considered too radical by his peers -- allowed Austin to maintain his influence in Durham well into the 1950s and 1960s. In doing so, Austin created a lasting impact for Durham.
==Early life==
Louis Austin was born in Enfield, North Carolina, a small town eighty-five miles east of Durham. He grew up in a period when African Americans were denied basic civil liberties, including the right to vote. Throughout Austin's childhood, his father William taught him to stand up for his rights. As a young adult, Austin was enraged about racial discrimination, and spoke out about these type of injustices at his school. As a result, his parents sent him to finish his high school education at the Joseph K. Brick School in Edgecombe County. Austin then attended the National Religious Training School (now North Carolina Central University) in Durham, North Carolina. After graduating college, Austin worked for North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company, a black owned company based in Durham.
