Architecture & Identity: Black Modernism (AACHAF Conversation Series)

However, the works of Black American architects and their design contributions are still present and visible today. Join curator and scholar Dr. Michelle Wilkinson for a discussion with architects, preservationists, and historians on the challenges and opportunities of stewarding and interpreting Black Modernism and the cultural significance of Black American architects.
