African American Architects 1865-1945
This lecture delves into some of the least-known contributions of African American architects during the crucial period of emancipation to the end of World War II. The discourse will highlight speaker Dreck Spurlock Wilson’s editing and compiling of the book African American Architects: A Biographical Dictionary, 1865–1945, which prompts exploration of the historical influence of those who are virtually unknown in the world of architecture.
