The owners of Rofhiwa Book Café are opening a new East Durham spot this summer called Congress Bar and Cafe, they announced in an Instagram post Tuesday.
Why it matters: The new neighborhood bar, at 419 S. Driver St., is a signal of the owner's investment in East Durham and making it a place where "Black life and Black conviviality can thrive," they said in the post.
