Bright Black is a Durham, NC Black-owned, family-owned company that doesn’t “just” sell candles. They use scent as a medium and candles as a platform for sharing positive narratives about Blackness, wanting to bring about change and representation.

Our museum store offers their incredible Durham candle for sale, which is intended to evoke the spirit of the Bull City’s charm and grit with a striking and soulful blend of tobacco, cotton, and whiskey.
