<p>The Afro-American Insurance Company Building was constructed about 1909 to house
the local office of the Afro-American Insurance Company. This company, with offices in
several southeastern states, was one of several insurance companies owned and operated by
African Americans marketing to African American communities. The company?s building in
Rock Hill became an impressive symbol of the aspirations for commercial success among
many African American leaders. It also was evidence of the growing market for business and
financial services within the emerging African American middle class. The building is the
design of William W. Smith of Charlotte, an important African American designer and
builder in the region. Because most buildings that historically housed African American
businesses in Rock Hill have been destroyed through urban renewal programs, the Afro-
American Insurance Company Building has added significance as perhaps the most important
surviving example of a commercial building related to the African American community of /forum/african-
the early twentieth century. It is a two-story commercial building of brick laid in common american-
bond. The fa?ade has a tan brick veneer, while the sides and rear are in red brick. The fa?ade The Afro-American Insurance Company Building was constructed about 1909 to house the historic-

memorial was commissioned in 1951 to as a monument to entertainer Al Jolson.
Jolson had performed in almost every medium during the first half of the 20th century, and
despite a career slump, was at the peak of his return to success when he died unexpectedly in
1950. Jolson, a Russian Jewish immigrant knows for his singing skills, used his

Run by J.G. Robinson, Lorenzo Bowdin, and John Lamar Hill Sr, the Angelus Funeral Home
was known throughout Los Angeles for its dedication and professionalism. Breaking
from traditional styles for funerary buildings, Williams incorporated many innovative ideas
into his design, such as large banks of windows looking out on gardens. Williams'

Huntington, noted sculptress, purchased Brookgreen and three adjoining plantations in
January of 1930 as their site for a winter home and as a setting for Mrs. Huntington's
sculpture. Construction of the house began the following winter. The home was named
"Atalaya", a Spanish term for watchtower. Archer Huntington, a noted authority on Spanish
history, designed the house after the Moorish architecture of the Spanish Mediterranean
Coast.</p><p>Atalaya was built over a three year period, from 1931 to 1933, apparently
without detailed written plans. Work on the building was not continuous, but divided
between Atalaya and Brookgreen Gardens. Archer Huntington, wanting to provide work
opportunities for community residents during the Great Depression, insisted that local labor
be utilized in its construction.</p><p>The outer walls of the building form a square, 200 feet
on each side, with the front facing the ocean. Within the walled structure there is a large,
open inner court with a small entry court at the rear. The living quarters consist of 30 rooms
around three sides of the perimeter. The large, one-story building is dominated by a square
tower that rises nearly 40 feet from a covered walkway that bisects the inner court. It is
functional in design, having contained a 3,000 gallon water tank made of cypress. Water
drawn from an artesian well was pumped into a 10,000 gallon concrete cistern where the sand
settled out. From there, it was pumped into the tower tank. The height of this tank gave the
water enough pressure to flow through the house.</p><p>The covered walkway of open
brickwork is lined with archways and planters on both sides. Living facilities including the
dining room, sunroom, library and bedrooms, occupied the front portion of the house. The
southern wing housed Archer's spacious study, his secretary's office and Anna's studio. The
studio, with a 25-foot skylight, opened onto a small enclosed courtyard where she worked on
her sculptures. Anna enjoyed sculpting live animals, therefore, facilities such as horse stables,
a dog kennel and a bear pen were included in the construction.</p><p>Heating was done
entirely by coal room heaters and wood fireplaces. Ramps, instead of stairs, lead from the /forum/african- Red
courtyards up to each entry door, and wood was hauled in by small carts. Specially designed american- Leader

<p>Circa 1911. Architect Archibald Alexander designed this site. Alexander became the
State University of Iowa’s first black engineer and football player when he earned his
Bachelor of Science degree in 1912. Once graduating, Alexander attempted to find
engineering work but experienced severe racism and discrimination. As a result, he began his
own engineering company, A.A. Alexander, Inc. in 1914. In order to expand his business, he
partnered with white contractor George F. Higbee in 1917. Although interracial businesses
were extremely rare during this period, the two ran a successful firm and renamed the
company Alexander & Higbee, Inc. In 1925 Higbee unexpectedly died in a
construction accident, making Alexander the sole proprietor of the engineering firm again.
He worked on projects independently again until 1929 when he began to work with Maurice
A. Repass, his second white business partner. This partnership proved to be particularly
successful. While together, the team expanded their business efforts to a national scale and
opened up a second office in Washington, DC. After a successful career in bridge, sewer
system, and road construction, Archibald Alexander died in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1958.</p> /forum/african- Red

<p>Circa 1932. Robert Robinson Taylor is by some accounts the first accredited
African American Architect in the United States. Taylor became the first African American
at Massachusetts Institute of Technology when he enrolled in 1888. Tyler designed
most of the buildings on the Tuskegee campus completed prior to 1932, and even served as
second-in-command to Tuskegee's founder and first President, Dr. Booker T. Washington.
Taylor's first building on the Tuskegee University campus was the Science Hall (Thrasher
Hall) completed in 1893. The new Science Hall was constructed entirely by students, using
bricks made also by students under Taylor's supervision. The project epitomized
Washington's philosophy of instilling in Tuskegee students, the descendants of former
enslaved Africans, the value and dignity of physical labor and it provided an example to the
world of the capabilities of African Americans in the building trades, and it underscored the
larger potential of the manual training curricula being developed at Tuskegee. He died while
attending services at the Tuskegee Chapel, a building he considered his finest achievement.

<p>Circa 1914. Architect Charles Duke designed this site. Born into a wealthy family in
Selma, Alabama, Duke’s family moved to Pine Bluff, Arkansas, after narrowly
escaping a lynch mob in Alabama. Once in Arkansas, he completed high school and went to
college Branch Normal College. He also attended Howard University and Phillips Exeter. At
Phillips Exeter he served as president of the debate team and became the first African
American graduate when he received his degree in 1901. Duke constantly continued his
education and he became the first African American to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in
mathematics from Harvard University and also became the first African American to earn a
Master of Science degree in civil engineering from the University of Wisconsin in 1913. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In 1908 Duke began working as a foreman engineer for the Chicago Northwestern
Railroad. In the August of 1913 the City of Chicago Department of Public Works hired Duke
as the first African American engineer draftsman. His architecture career took a pause when
he enlisted in the National Guard in 1916 and travelled to Mexico. After his military service,
Duke established his own firm and worked to improve housing for impoverished African
Americans. His efforts led to an appointment with the Chicago Zoning Commission where he

<p>The City of St. Jude Historic District pioneered nondiscriminatory health services,
education, and social services to African Americans during a time when racial segregation
was mandated by law in the South. Founded by Father Howard Purcell in 1934, the City of
St. Jude includes a church, a school, a hospital, a social center, and residential buildings for
teaching and nursing staffs, as well as an administration building and a gymnasium. In the
1950s, St. Jude's Church hosted an integrated prayer group, and in 1965, Martin Luther King,
Jr. and 2,000 participants of the Selma-to-Montgomery March found shelter there. The night
before the final march to the Capitol, the City of St. Jude offered its 36 acres to the
marcherswho slept on the athletic field and held a "Stars of Freedom Rally" featuring such
celebrities as Odetta, Harry Belafonte, Pete Seeger, Leonard Bernstein, and Joan Baez. St.
Jude's Catholic Hospital, which opened in 1951 as the first integrated hospital in the
Southeast, offered help again at the end of the march when hospital staff tried to save the life
of Viola Liuzzo, the Detroit homemaker who was fatally shot by Klansmen while driving
marchers back to Selma. The hospital closed in 1985. In March 1990, City of St. Jude was
the site of the 25th anniversary of the Selma-to-Montgomery March. </p> /forum/african- Red

community in Birmingham since its founding. In 1887 Alabama State University (then
the Alabama Colored Peoples University), held its first courses in the
church. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. also used the church facilities in the 1950s to run
the Montgomery Bus Boycott. In 1954 King became the pastor of the church once he attained
his PhD from Boston University. His time at the church deeply influenced his views
on non-violence and community organizing that would later become integral to his civil
rights work. Today theDexter Avenue Baptist Church retains an active congregation

<p>Martin Luther King, Jr. lived in this parsonage when he was minister of the church
between 1954 and 1960. On January 31, 1956, following the successful Montgomery bus
boycott, King's home was bombed by local segregationists. At the time, King was at a
meeting, but his wife, Coretta Scott King, was at the parsonage with her ten-week-old
daughter Yolanda Denice, also known as "Yoki." After King had verified that both were
unhurt, he addressed the angry crowd of African Americans outside. "Don't do anything
panicky," he advised. "I did not start this boycott. I was asked by you to serve as your
spokesman. I want it to be known the length and breadth of this land that if I am stopped, this
movement will not stop." In February 1957, when King was alone in the parsonage with
Morehouse College friend Bob Williams, something disturbed King. He told Williams they
should leave the parsonage immediately. Several hours later, after the two men had gone to
Williams' house, a bomb exploded outside the parsonage, crushing the front part of a house
and shattering the windows of three parked taxis, injuring the drivers. At the empty
parsonage, 12 sticks of dynamite lay on the front porch. Only a few days after the bombing,
police arrested seven white men. Two of them admitted to the crime, but despite their signed
confessions, they were acquitted by a jury. </p>

<p>The District of Columbia?s south cornerstone represents one of the oldest artifacts
associated with the U.S. Capital. Survey stones were set in mile increments around the
perimeter of the Capital City?s boundary. Benjamin Banneker, a free black mathematician
and astronomer, was chosen by Major Andrew Ellicott to locate the south corner in Jones
Point and maintain the survey?s accuracy through astronomical calculations and
measurements. Banneker camped out on Jones Point at the survey base camp through cold
weather in order to maintain the instruments and provide accurate calculations. Banneker?s
assignment to the survey team was a critical step in his career, leading to his current title as
the first black man of science. Access to the team?s finely-tuned instruments at Jones Point
possibly enabled Banneker to make the necessary calculations for his 1792 publication
Almanack and Ephemeries which gained him national consideration. In 1791, the Alexandria
Masonic Lodge placed a stone in the location that Banneker marked; a permanent
cornerstone was installed in 1794. Since the portion of the District of Columbia west and /forum/african- Red

<p>Dominick Barecroft was an African American tavern owner in Alexandria in the early
1800s. He may have been the first black man to operate such a public house that was visited
only by respectable persons. The Barecroft tavern is significant because it represents a
thriving business under African American ownership in a time before the Civil War.
Dominick was sold to David Henderson in 1800 for two hundred dollars; he gained his
freedom three months later. Barecroft was able to buy his wife Esther and free her in 1804.
Dominick operated a tavern on the 300 block of North Fairfax Street as early as 1803, and he
also sold a variety of foods, including fresh fruit and pickled oysters. In 1817, Dominick
bought a house and lot at 315 Cameron Street. The tavern operated here until 1824.
Dominick Barecroft died at the age of 68 in 1830, leaving his estate to his second wife Sarah
and his two sons, William and Ephriam. He was characterized in the newspaper obituary as a
very respectable black man. He was remembered as a large, magisterial looking man who /forum/african- Red

<p>Thistwo-story brick structure was named Dorothy Hall in memory of Dorothy Lamb
Woodridge, the great-great-great grandmother of Caroline and Olivia Phelps-Stokes. The
Phelps-Stokes family was one of the University's earliest major contributors. Before
renovations to complete Tuskegee University's Kellogg Hotel in Alabama, Dorothy Hall
served as the University's guest house, dining area, and home to one of the nation's pioneers
in agricultural and natural science research,Dr. George Washington Carver. This building
was the place where female students were taught in the industrial arts. </p>
<p><span>Robert Robinson Taylor designed this building. Taylor is by some accounts
the first accredited African American Architect in the United States. Taylor became the first
African American at Massachusetts Institute of Technology when he enrolled in
1888. Tyler designed most of the buildings on the Tuskegee campus completed prior
to 1932, and even served as second-in-command to Tuskegee's founder and first President,
Dr. Booker T. Washington. Taylor's first building on the Tuskegee University campus was
the Science Hall (Thrasher Hall) completed in 1893. The new Science Hall was constructed
entirely by students, using bricks made also by students under Taylor's supervision. The
project epitomized Washington's philosophy of instilling in Tuskegee students, the
descendants of former enslaved Africans, the value and dignity of physical labor and it
provided an example to the world of the capabilities of African Americans in the building
trades, and it underscored the larger potential of the manual training curricula being
developed at Tuskegee. He died while attending services at the Tuskegee Chapel, a building
he considered his finest achievement.</span></p>

Washington's work in stone sculpture marked a turning point in his career, and his success in
gallery shows and many public commissions allowed him to leave his job and become a full-
time artist in 1960. He continued to sculpt, teach, exhibit, and lecture over the next 40 years.
Washington's work is admired by critics, curators, art historians, and the public far beyond

<p>Circa 1937. Architect Archibald Alexander designed this site. Alexander became
the State University of Iowa’s first black engineer and football player when he earned
his Bachelor of Science degree in 1912. Once graduating, Alexander attempted to find
engineering work but experienced severe racism and discrimination. As a result, he began his
own engineering company, A.A. Alexander, Inc. in 1914. In order to expand his business, he
partnered with white contractor George F. Higbee in 1917. Although interracial businesses
were extremely rare during this period, the two ran a successful firm and renamed the
company Alexander & Higbee, Inc. In 1925 Higbee unexpectedly died in a
construction accident, making Alexander the sole proprietor of the engineering firm again.
He worked on projects independently again until 1929 when he began to work with Maurice
A. Repass, his second white business partner. This partnership proved to be particularly
successful. While together, the team expanded their business efforts to a national scale and
opened up a second office in Washington, DC. After a successful career in bridge, sewer
system, and road construction, Archibald Alexander died in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1958.</p> /forum/african- Red

<p>Circa 1922. Architect John A. Lankford (1874-1946) designed this building. In 1922
Lankford became the first professionally licensed African American architect in Virginia and
in 1924 he became licensed in the District of Columbia as well. Born on a farm near Potosi,
Missouri on December 4, 1874, he attended Lincoln Institute and Tuskegee Institute. He
studied architectural and mechanical drawing from the International Correspondence School.
He earned a bachelor of science from Shaw University in 1898. He earned Master of Science
degrees from Morris Brown College and Wilberforce University. In 1902, he moved to
Washington, D.C. to finish the design of the True Reformer Building, and later became
appointed as supervising architect for the African Methodist Episcopal denomination. He
organized the National Negro Business League chapter in Washington, D.C. in 1905. While
he designed buildings in several states, Lankford based his business in Washington, DC, and
worked there until his death in 1946.</p>

architect, designed this site. Rayfield designed hundreds of structures throughout the
South prior to the Great Depression, among them hotels, theaters, barns, schools, residences,
fraternal buildings, one of the country’s first black-owned banks, and many churches.
His buildings were backdrops for the civil rights movement of the 1960s; in some cases, they
became synonymous with the struggle. </p>
<p>Born in Georgia in 1873, Wallace Rayfield was a gifted draftsman who graduated from
Howard University and received architecture degrees from both Pratt Polytechnic Institute
and Columbia University. Booker T. Washington, director of Tuskegee Normal and
Industrial Institute in Alabama, recruited Rayfield to become an instructor of mechanical and
architectural drawing. Rayfield worked alongside Robert Taylor, credited as the
country’s first trained black architect. Rayfield also made his first foray into printing,
with Industrial Drawing Book, a textbook meant to bring a degree of professionalism to the
young school. </p>
<p>After leaving Tuskegee and opening his own architecture practice in Birmingham in
1908, Rayfield began designing and printing advertisements, newsletters, and plan books to
reach a wider audience, while at the same time masking his racial identity. Rayfield’s
efforts to build a practice paid off. He designed more than 300 buildings for clients in nearly
20 states, including Illinois, Texas, and Maryland, and in the African country of Liberia.
More than 130 structures were built in Birmingham alone. He became the Superintending
Architect for the Freedmen’s Aid Society and chief architect of the A.M.E. Zion
Churches of America. He was also a community leader, supporting African Americans
through a marketing newsletter called The Colored Mechanics of Birmingham, in which he
promoted the skills of local black contractors. Some of his residential projects became the
first to be designed, financed, and built by blacks. </p>

<p>Eden Cemetery is the oldest African American owned cemetery in the U.S. Located in
Collingdale, Delaware county, Pennsylvania, it is comprised of 53 beautiful rolling acres.
The Cemetery was established on June 20, 1902 and today there are over 85,000 interred at
Eden. Buried at Eden are abolitionists and Underground Railroad activists. These include
William Still, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Stephen Smith, Octavius Valentine Catto and
members of the First African Baptist Church (1823-1842). The most famous of these being
William Still, the "father of the underground railroad." Still was laid to rest here in 1902.
Still's interviews with former slaves, including one who turned out to be his long lost brother
Peter, grew into the book "The Underground Railroad", published in 1872. Buried with him
are his wife Letitia and his daughter Caroline.

<p>E. D. Nixon (1899-1987) worked as a long-time leader of the civil rights
movement in Alabama. He worked tirelessly to increase the number of registered blacks
voters in Montgomery and played a key role in the organization of the
Montgomery Improvement Association and the Montgomery Bus Boycott. He also helped
bail Rosa Parks out of jail after she was arrested for violating segregation laws. Heavily
influenced by his membership in the largely African American Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters (BSCP), Nixon became an outspoken activist for African American voting rights and
employment opportunities in the years between World War II and the early years of the civil
rights movement in the mid-1950s. Nixon also was the first black candidate in the twentieth
century to run for a seat on Montgomery County's Democratic Executive Committee in 1954.
He lost his bid but was allowed to question candidates for the city commission, which
functioned as Montgomery's central government, about issues of race the following year.

<p>Emmanuel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, like Mobile's other black
congregations of the 19th century, evolved from a desire on the part of black congregations to
continue religious services as their white parent churches strove to disassociate themselves
from the black membership. Trustees for Emmanuel AME Church purchased a vacant lot for
their church in 1869, and the building was lengthened and a new facade was added by 1891.
Emmanuel AME Church raised enough money to hire a prominent white architect, James F.
Hutchisson, for the design of the facade. As a result, the architecture is comparable to
contemporary white churches in Mobile and is superior to both black and white rural
churches of the period. Unaltered since the 1890s, this building stands as Mobile's only /forum/african- Red

<p><span>Robert Robinson Taylor designed this building. Taylor is by some accounts
the first accredited African American Architect in the United States. Taylor became the first
African American at Massachusetts Institute of Technology when he enrolled in
1888. Tyler designed most of the buildings on the Tuskegee campus completed prior
to 1932, and even served as second-in-command to Tuskegee's founder and first President,
Dr. Booker T. Washington. Taylor's first building on the Tuskegee University campus was
the Science Hall (Thrasher Hall) completed in 1893. The new Science Hall was constructed
entirely by students, using bricks made also by students under Taylor's supervision. The
project epitomized Washington's philosophy of instilling in Tuskegee students, the
descendants of former enslaved Africans, the value and dignity of physical labor and it
provided an example to the world of the capabilities of African Americans in the building
trades, and it underscored the larger potential of the manual training curricula being
developed at Tuskegee. He died while attending services at the Tuskegee Chapel, a building
he considered his finest achievement.</span></p>

history on May 27, 1958, when he became the first African American to graduate from Little
Rock?s Central High School, following a school year that began with a Constitutional crisis.
Like the rest of the Little Rock Nine, Ernest came from a family which placed a lot of
emphasis on the importance of education and personal development. At the end of his junior

year at Horace Mann, Ernest volunteered to attend the all-white Little Rock Central High
School in fall of 1957 and help desegregate the city?s largest high school. Central High lturaltourismdc
offered a wider and more complex curriculum than Horace Mann did, making the educational .org/info-

font-size: 8.5pt;">Robert Robinson Taylor designed this building. Taylor is by some
accounts the first accredited African American Architect in the United States. Taylor became
the first African American at Massachusetts Institute of Technology when he enrolled in
1888. Taylor designed most of the buildings on the Tuskegee campus completed prior
to 1932, and even served as second-in-command to Tuskegee's founder and first President,
Dr. Booker T. Washington. Taylor's first building on the Tuskegee University campus was
the Science Hall (Thrasher Hall) completed in 1893. The new Science Hall was constructed
entirely by students, using bricks made also by students under Taylor's supervision. The
project epitomized Washington's philosophy of instilling in Tuskegee students, the
descendants of former enslaved Africans, the value and dignity of physical labor and it
provided an example to the world of the capabilities of African Americans in the building
trades, and it underscored the larger potential of the manual training curricula being
developed at Tuskegee. He died while attending services at the Tuskegee Chapel, a building
he considered his finest achievement.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; color: black;
font-size: 8.5pt;">In addition to the building's affiliation with Taylor, this site is also
associated with the civil rights movement. In 1964 ReverenceT.Y. Rogers, Jr. organized the
local community and led a successful civil rights protest against "whites only" signs
hung in the Tuscaloosa courthouse. The community's effortseventually resulted
in a federal court hearing that ruled in favor of the protesters. </span></p>

<p>Circa 1923. Architect William Cooke designed this site. Originally from Greenville,

architectural drawing under Robert Charles Bates. In October 1894 Cooke was elected by the
trustees of Georgia State Industrial College for Colored Youth in Savannah as superintendent
of the Industrial Department. At the school, he added carpentry and masonry into the Manual
Training Department and also designed buildings for the university’s campus.
In 1897 Cooke returned to Claflin to teach and continue his education. In 1902 he graduated
with his Bachelor of Science in technology degree. Afterwards, Cooke went on to have an
extremely successful career. From 1921-1929 he owned his own firm in Gary, Indiana and
became the first African American to be licensed to practice architecture in the state of

Jubilee Singers.</p><p>Mission: Fisk's mission today, as officially described by the Board
of Trustees in a statement most recently revised in 1986, remains that of an institution
committed to teaching, to the liberal arts, and to the preparation of leaders. Fisk also is
committed to involving both its faculty and its most advanced students in original research -
since the passing on of the liberal arts tradition is not merely the transmission of dead or
static knowledge; rather the liberal arts tradition involves the recognition that knowledge is
continually developing. As stated formally in the March, 1986 statement of the Fisk
University Board of Trustees, the mission of Fisk is to provide liberal arts education of the
highest quality. The ultimate goal is to prepare students to be skilled, resourceful, and
imaginative leaders who will address effectively the challenges of life in a technological
society, a pluralistic nation, and a multicultural world." This mission is directly translated
into the University?s philosophy, operating principles, and the following specific
goals.</p><p>To provide programs of study, both undergraduate and graduate, of high
quality, which prepare students for intellectual and social leadership in a technological

Bachelor of Science degree in 1912. Once graduating, Alexander attempted to find
engineering work but experienced severe racism and discrimination. As a result, he began his
own engineering company, A.A. Alexander, Inc. in 1914. In order to expand his business, he
partnered with white contractor George F. Higbee in 1917. Although interracial businesses
were extremely rare during this period, the two ran a successful firm and renamed the
company Alexander & Higbee, Inc. In 1925 Higbee unexpectedly died in a
construction accident, making Alexander the sole proprietor of the engineering firm again.
He worked on projects independently again until 1929 when he began to work with Maurice
A. Repass, his second white business partner. This partnership proved to be particularly
successful. While together, the team expanded their business efforts to a national scale and
opened up a second office in Washington, DC. After a successful career in bridge, sewer
system, and road construction, Archibald Alexander died in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1958.</p> /forum/african- Red

<p>At the turn of the century, when the public library system was segregated, the Colored
Library Association was organized by eastside civic leaders to provide library services for the
east side African-American Community. New facilities were constructed during 1929 using a
$75,000 appropriation from a city bond issue. Mayor C.C. Chambers dedicated the building
as the Colored Library Auditorium during the 1930 opening ceremony. The building was
renamed the Carver Library Auditorium in honor of George Washington Carver during 1938.
Until the late 1950s, the center was a focal point for educational, cultural, political, social
activities for San Antonio's African-American community. Nationally acclaimed artists such
as Ella Fitzgerald, Lionel Hampton, Paul Robeson, Louis Armstrong, Charlie 'Bird' Parker,
Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Carter, Cab Calloway, and Billy Eckstein performed at the Center.
The African-American community, prevented from joining San Antonio's mainstream social,
cultural, and educational life by segregation, created its own cultural center.The newly
renovated building opened in 1976 as the Carver Community Cultural Center, with the City /forum/african- Red

<p>Circa 1913.Architect Charles Duke designed this site. Born into a wealthy family in
Selma, Alabama, Duke’s family moved to Pine Bluff, Arkansas, after narrowly
escaping a lynch mob in Alabama. Once in Arkansas, he completed high school and went to
college Branch Normal College. He also attended Howard University and Phillips Exeter. At
Phillips Exeter he served as president of the debate team and became the first African
American graduate when he received his degree in 1901. Duke constantly continued his
education and he became the first African American to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in
mathematics from Harvard University and also became the first African American to earn a
Master of Science degree in civil engineering from the University of Wisconsin in 1913. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In 1908 Duke began working as a foreman engineer for the Chicago Northwestern
Railroad. In the August of 1913 the City of Chicago Department of Public Works hired Duke
as the first African American engineer draftsman. His architecture career took a pause when
he enlisted in the National Guard in 1916 and travelled to Mexico. After his military service,
Duke established his own firm and worked to improve housing for impoverished African
Americans. His efforts led to an appointment with the Chicago Zoning Commission where he
secured funds to build Chicago’s first public housing building. He continued his civil
rights work in 1929 when he established the National Technical Association, an organization
formed to encourage African Americans to enter the technical fields. During the Great
Depression, Duke became forced to close his private practice; however, he quickly found
work with the U.S. Resettlement Bureau, Homestead Subsistence Division in Washington,
D.C. Shortly before his death in 1952, Charles Duke had reestablished his private practice in /forum/african- Red

<p>Clarence W. Wigington, a significant African American architect, designed this building
in 1941 as a WPA project. </p>
<p>In 1910, the U.S. Census listed Clarence Wesley Wigington as one of only 59 African-
American architects, artists and draftsmen in the country. He attended school in Omaha,
Nebraska and began his architectural career working for Thomas Kimball, who was president
of the American Institute of Architects. While in Omaha, Wigington designed the Broomfield
Rowhouse, Zion Baptist Church, and the second St. John's African Methodist Episcopal
Church building, along with several other single and multiple family dwellings. </p>
<p>It was in Saint Paul, Minnesota where Wigington created a national reputation. He
moved there in 1914 and by 1917 was promoted to the position of senior architectural
designer for the City of St. Paul. During the 1920s and 30s, Wigington designed schools,
clubhouses, fire stations, park buildings, and airports for the city. His most significant
projects include the Highland Park Tower, the Holman Field Administration Building and the
Harriet Island Pavilion, and the Roy Wilkins Auditorium. Wigington also designed
monumental ice castles for the St. Paul Winter Carnival in the 1930s and 40s. </p>
<p>Wigington was among the 13 founders of the Sterling Club, a social club for railroad
porters, bellboys, waiters, drivers and other black men. He founded the Home Guards of
Minnesota, an all-black militia established in 1918 when racial segregation prohibited his /forum/african- Red

<p>The ?Hayti? neighborhood was established around the 400 block of South Royal Street in
the 1800s and served as an influential African American community where many black
leaders resided. The neighborhood name was first discovered through oral history and further
documented through newspaper accounts. Hayti (HAY-TIE) is the historic spelling of Haiti.
The slave revolution on Haiti, the only successful slave uprising in the western hemisphere,
inspired the name for this free black neighborhood. The growth of Hayti was fueled by the
Trinity Methodist Church whose members were both white and black. The church was
widely attended by African Americans, and at one point, the congregation?s membership
constituted 15% of the black population. The Hamilton and Evans households, residing in the
400 block of Royal Street, were founders of the black church, Davis Chapel (Roberts
Memorial United Methodist), in the 1830s. The church?s black leadership attracted other free /forum/african- Red

Douglass, son of Frederick Douglass. Douglass decided to create the
waterfront community as a resort for upperclass African Americans that lived
in nearby areas. Although Highland Beach's initial place was to operate as a
summer resort, it soon became a town with residents living in the
area year-round It became the first incorporated African
American township in the state of Maryland in 1922. The 40-acre tract of land
encompasses about sixty homes most of which are occupied by the descendants
of the original owners. During the early twentieth century Highland Beach was the locale for
notable African Americans such as:</p>
<p>Paul Robeson, African-American politica activist, singer, athlete,
and actor</p>
<p>Paul Laurence Dunbar, seminal African-American poet of the late 19th and early 20th
century</p>

<p>Circa 1940-41. Architect Charles Duke designed this site. Born into a wealthy family in
Selma, Alabama, Duke’s family moved to Pine Bluff, Arkansas, after narrowly
escaping a lynch mob in Alabama. Once in Arkansas, he completed high school and went to
college Branch Normal College. He also attended Howard University and Phillips Exeter. At
Phillips Exeter he served as president of the debate team and became the first African
American graduate when he received his degree in 1901. Duke constantly continued his
education and he became the first African American to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in
mathematics from Harvard University and also became the first African American to earn a
Master of Science degree in civil engineering from the University of Wisconsin in 1913. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In 1908 Duke began working as a foreman engineer for the Chicago Northwestern
Railroad. In the August of 1913 the City of Chicago Department of Public Works hired Duke
as the first African American engineer draftsman. His architecture career took a pause when
he enlisted in the National Guard in 1916 and travelled to Mexico. After his military service,
Duke established his own firm and worked to improve housing for impoverished African
Americans. His efforts led to an appointment with the Chicago Zoning Commission where he
secured funds to build Chicago’s first public housing building. He continued his civil
rights work in 1929 when he established the National Technical Association, an organization
formed to encourage African Americans to enter the technical fields. During the Great
Depression, Duke became forced to close his private practice; however, he quickly found
work with the U.S. Resettlement Bureau, Homestead Subsistence Division in Washington,
D.C. Shortly before his death in 1952, Charles Duke had reestablished his private practice in /forum/african- Red

Wigington, a significant African American architect, designed this building.</p>
<p>In 1910, the U.S. Census listed Clarence Wesley Wigington as one of only 59 African-
American architects, artists and draftsmen in the country. He attended school in Omaha,
Nebraska and began his architectural career working for Thomas Kimball, who was president
of the American Institute of Architects. While in Omaha, Wigington designed the Broomfield
Rowhouse, Zion Baptist Church, and the second St. John's African Methodist Episcopal
Church building, along with several other single and multiple family dwellings. </p>
<p>It was in Saint Paul, Minnesota where Wigington created a national reputation. He
moved there in 1914 and by 1917 was promoted to the position of senior architectural
designer for the City of St. Paul. During the 1920s and 30s, Wigington designed schools,
clubhouses, fire stations, park buildings, and airports for the city. His most significant
projects include the Highland Park Tower, the Holman Field Administration Building and the
Harriet Island Pavilion, and the Roy Wilkins Auditorium. Wigington also designed
monumental ice castles for the St. Paul Winter Carnival in the 1930s and 40s. </p>
<p>Wigington was among the 13 founders of the Sterling Club, a social club for railroad
porters, bellboys, waiters, drivers and other black men. He founded the Home Guards of /forum/african-

<p>In 1820, Hannah Jackson bought a house and lot from Quaker, Mordecai Miller, for 5
shillings and regular ground rent, at what was to become known as 406-408 South Royal
Street. She is one of the earliest known African-Americans to own property in Alexandria;
this property was located in the heart of one of the earliest free black neighborhoods, Hayti.
Although employed as a washerwoman, Ms. Jackson was able to buy her son, grandchildren,
sister and nieces and nephews from their respective owners. She emancipated all of them
shortly thereafter. In her will, she left her property and dwellings to the remainder of her
family. Another interesting facet of this history is found in the will of William Hepburn, a
prosperous Alexandria businessman, who died in 1817. The former owner of Esther
(Hannah?s sister) and their three children, whom he sold to Hannah in 1816; he continued to

<p>Circa 1922. Architect Charles Duke designed this site. Born into a wealthy family in
Selma, Alabama, Duke’s family moved to Pine Bluff, Arkansas, after narrowly
escaping a lynch mob in Alabama. Once in Arkansas, he completed high school and went to
college Branch Normal College. He also attended Howard University and Phillips Exeter. At
Phillips Exeter he served as president of the debate team and became the first African
American graduate when he received his degree in 1901. Duke constantly continued his
education and he became the first African American to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in
mathematics from Harvard University and also became the first African American to earn a
Master of Science degree in civil engineering from the University of Wisconsin in 1913. </p>
<p>In 1908 Duke began working as a foreman engineer for the Chicago Northwestern
Railroad. In the August of 1913 the City of Chicago Department of Public Works hired Duke
as the first African American engineer draftsman. His architecture career took a pause when
he enlisted in the National Guard in 1916 and travelled to Mexico. After his military service,
Duke established his own firm and worked to improve housing for impoverished African
Americans. His efforts led to an appointment with the Chicago Zoning Commission where he
secured funds to build Chicago’s first public housing building. He continued his civil
rights work in 1929 when he established the National Technical Association, an organization
formed to encourage African Americans to enter the technical fields. During the Great
Depression, Duke became forced to close his private practice; however, he quickly found
work with the U.S. Resettlement Bureau, Homestead Subsistence Division in Washington,
D.C. Shortly before his death in 1952, Charles Duke had reestablished his private practice in /forum/african- Red

<p>Circa 1898. Booker T. Washington lived in this home from 1900 until his death in 1915.
Located on the campus of the Tuskegee Institute, Washington's home served as a place of
education and entertainment for students at Tuskegee. The home was designed in the Queen
Anne style and features furniture made predominately by local craftsmen and university
students. </p>
<p>Robert Robinson Taylor designed this building. Taylor is by some accounts the
first accredited African American Architect in the United States. Taylor became the first
African American at Massachusetts Institute of Technology when he enrolled in
1888. Tyler designed most of the buildings on the Tuskegee campus completed prior
to 1932, and even served as second-in-command to Tuskegee's founder and first President,
Dr. Booker T. Washington. Taylor's first building on the Tuskegee University campus was
the Science Hall (Thrasher Hall) completed in 1893. The new Science Hall was constructed
entirely by students, using bricks made also by students under Taylor's supervision. The
project epitomized Washington's philosophy of instilling in Tuskegee students, the
descendants of former enslaved Africans, the value and dignity of physical labor and it
provided an example to the world of the capabilities of African Americans in the building
trades, and it underscored the larger potential of the manual training curricula being
developed at Tuskegee. He died while attending services at the Tuskegee Chapel, a building
he considered his finest achievement.</p>

<p>Clarence W. Wigington, a significant African American
architect, completed this building in 1914.</p>
<p>In 1910, the U.S. Census listed Clarence Wesley Wigington as one of only 59 African-
American architects, artists and draftsmen in the country. He attended school in Omaha,
Nebraska and began his architectural career working for Thomas Kimball, who was president
of the American Institute of Architects. While in Omaha, Wigington designed the Broomfield
Rowhouse, Zion Baptist Church, and the second St. John's African Methodist Episcopal
Church building, along with several other single and multiple family dwellings. </p>
<p>It was in Saint Paul, Minnesota where Wigington created a national reputation. He
moved there in 1914 and by 1917 was promoted to the position of senior architectural
designer for the City of St. Paul. During the 1920s and 30s, Wigington designed schools,
clubhouses, fire stations, park buildings, and airports for the city. His most significant
projects include the Highland Park Tower, the Holman Field Administration Building and the
Harriet Island Pavilion, and the Roy Wilkins Auditorium. Wigington also designed
monumental ice castles for the St. Paul Winter Carnival in the 1930s and 40s. </p>
<p>Wigington was among the 13 founders of the Sterling Club, a social club for railroad
porters, bellboys, waiters, drivers and other black men. He founded the Home Guards of /forum/african-

American architect, designed this site. Rayfield designed hundreds of structures
throughout the South prior to the Great Depression, among them hotels, theaters, barns,
schools, residences, fraternal buildings, one of the country’s first black-owned banks,
and many churches. His buildings were backdrops for the civil rights movement of the 1960s;
in some cases, they became synonymous with the struggle. </p>
<p>Born in Georgia in 1873, Wallace Rayfield was a gifted draftsman who graduated from
Howard University and received architecture degrees from both Pratt Polytechnic Institute
and Columbia University. Booker T. Washington, director of Tuskegee Normal and
Industrial Institute in Alabama, recruited Rayfield to become an instructor of mechanical and
architectural drawing. Rayfield worked alongside Robert Taylor, credited as the
country’s first trained black architect. Rayfield also made his first foray into printing,
with Industrial Drawing Book, a textbook meant to bring a degree of professionalism to the
young school. </p>
<p>After leaving Tuskegee and opening his own architecture practice in Birmingham in
1908, Rayfield began designing and printing advertisements, newsletters, and plan books to
reach a wider audience, while at the same time masking his racial identity. Rayfield’s
efforts to build a practice paid off. He designed more than 300 buildings for clients in nearly
20 states, including Illinois, Texas, and Maryland, and in the African country of Liberia.
More than 130 structures were built in Birmingham alone. He became the Superintending
Architect for the Freedmen’s Aid Society and chief architect of the A.M.E. Zion
Churches of America. He was also a community leader, supporting African Americans
through a marketing newsletter called The Colored Mechanics of Birmingham, in which he
promoted the skills of local black contractors. Some of his residential projects became the
first to be designed, financed, and built by blacks. </p>

<p>Architect Charles Duke designed this site. Born into a wealthy family in Selma,
Alabama, Duke’s family moved to Pine Bluff, Arkansas, after narrowly escaping a
lynch mob in Alabama. Once in Arkansas, he completed high school and went to college
Branch Normal College. He also attended Howard University and Phillips Exeter. At Phillips
Exeter he served as president of the debate team and became the first African American
graduate when he received his degree in 1901. Duke constantly continued his education and
he became the first African American to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics from
Harvard University and also became the first African American to earn a Master of Science
degree in civil engineering from the University of Wisconsin in 1913. </p>
<p>In 1908 Duke began working as a foreman engineer for the Chicago Northwestern
Railroad. In the August of 1913 the City of Chicago Department of Public Works hired Duke
as the first African American engineer draftsman. His architecture career took a pause when
he enlisted in the National Guard in 1916 and travelled to Mexico. After his military service,
Duke established his own firm and worked to improve housing for impoverished African
Americans. His efforts led to an appointment with the Chicago Zoning Commission where he
secured funds to build Chicago’s first public housing building. He continued his civil
rights work in 1929 when he established the National Technical Association, an organization
formed to encourage African Americans to enter the technical fields. During the Great
Depression, Duke became forced to close his private practice; however, he quickly found
work with the U.S. Resettlement Bureau, Homestead Subsistence Division in Washington,
D.C. Shortly before his death in 1952, Charles Duke had reestablished his private practice in /forum/african- Red
