Architects beautify and reconceptualize city skylines, devise public spaces that bring art out of galleries and to the masses, and create environmentally conscious structures to preserve our planet’s dwindling resources. African Americans were long barred from the architecture profession and have always faced enormous social and economic barriers.
Today, African American architects and designers are individual boundary-pushers willing to disrupt convention and welcome the spotlight. And we want to celebrate the number of Black Architects who have managed, designed, and constructed some of today’s most admired structures. You have are driven, intelligent, and unafraid, much like the black builders who came before you, you are trailblazers in your own ways, leaving your indelible mark on the world for years to come.

SALUTE TO ALL FIRST 20 BLACK AFRICAN AMERICAN ARCHITECT'S ✊🏾

[@rayamoooooo685]

Uh-huh great presentation, great collection 💙!

[@lynewestbrook7435]

This reminds me of one of my personal poetic masterpieces "Gems in Darkness". A collection of hidden rich treasures of gifted and talented people of color, people of a dark hue, and their contributions to our planet.

[@iamashleyyvette]

This is awesome

[@amarahaynes2559]

I appreciate this video a bunch because finding sources about Black architects and their work is quite difficult, especially when they represent such a low proportion of architects in the United States. However, I think there is a mistake in this video. During the section for Beverly Loraine Greene, a picture of Amaza Lee Meredith is shown. Amaza Lee Meredith is a different architect and is known for her Azurest South home on VSU's campus and early vacation homes in Sag Harbor. I would be curious to see if there may have been other slight mistakes like this throughout the video and ask that you guys check in on this. Thanks!

[@isaacfoy299]

I looked at your presentation with an open mind but I don't understand how you could have the top 20 without listing Hilyard Robert Robinson. A lot of the names that you listed were mispronunciation

[@monicad351]

Good to know.

[@CorvetteTeaser]

I hope architectural schools will start teaching the works of these architects, as a black architect i never ever heard of a black architect, i mean never ever, i have 2 degrees and 2 masters and post masters, never did i see a black academic.. we have a long way to go

Ever heard of an IQ test?

Love it but update this info. Find black people currently shaping this world. Bust the myth that black ppl doing great things are of the past. Pls avoid rappers and singers. I would love to hear about black intellects that are still alive.
