Day 19: Remembering Local History during Black History Month Clark Campbell was a city bus driver for sixty-two years, starting his career doing maintenance at the Safe Bus Company in 1944. Campbell was joined by his brother Theodore (pictured in the mural) a few years later, before both brothers became drivers. Campbell was well known in the community and trained many new hires. After the Safe Bus Company became the Winston-Salem Transit Authority, Campbell continued to driv…e until 2006 and remained on the active driver list until he died in 2008. In 2007 the WSTA renamed its transportation center for him, making it the first building in downtown Winston-Salem to be named for a Black person. The Depot Street Renaissance mural by Leo Rucker represents the contributions of just a few of the many individuals, businesses and institutions that made the neighborhood that is now the Innovation Quarter a prestigious community and a thriving hub of Black enterprise.
