Description

Discover the hidden history of African American architecture through this essential reference work. While many buildings designed by Black architects still stand today, the creators behind them have often remained unknown to history. This book changes that by bringing their lives and professional contributions to the forefront. Spanning the era from Emancipation in 1865 to the end of World War II in 1945, this volume provides a comprehensive look at a transformative period in design and construction. It serves as a vital resource for students, historians, and anyone interested in the intersection of race and architecture. Written by a diverse group of 100 experts, including archivists and architectural historians, the text offers deep insight into the people who shaped the built environment.
