There's power inherent in crafting communities in your own likeness. In this episode, Melony and Derek begin by briefly comparing images and stories from the concurrent narratives of the Harlem Renaissance and the Great Migration. From there, guest Jay Cephas, an historian of architecture, landscapes, and cities, shares his insights and research on the overlooked - and suppressed - contributions of Black architects and builders throughout American history. Jay walks us through an expansive and rich history, from the days of enslavement through Reconstruction and into the early 20th century. He highlights the significant impact generations of Black tradespeople had on shaping urban environments and building communities, despite facing systemic barriers and exclusions. Additionally, Jay introduces the Black Architects Archive, an interactive repository documenting the work of Black architects, builders, and contractors in North America. In short, we have an enlightening and inspiring conversation showcasing how Black Americans built schools, churches, and other vital structures with limited resources, and left an enduring impact on the American landscape.

Winston Churchill’s 1946 speech is supposed to have given rise to the “special relationship” between the UK and the USA, but in reality, it existed long before. Not least because many of the earliest settlers in the USA came from the British Isles. The language, culture and the names of the cities reflected these roots. More than two dozen places in the USA are known as Manchester. In a recent publication, “Americans in Manchester: Walking Tour”, Dr Andrew Fearnley from the Dept. of English & American Studies at The University of Manchester explores these early connections and reveals that the connections extended beyond business, commerce and trade. The prominent Americans who visited Manchester between the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries reflect Manchester’s role in abolishing slavery, supporting the Union side during the American Civil War, and hosting visits from civil rights activists such as Paul Robeson, Malcolm X and W.E.B Du Bois. In tomorrow’s programme, 9th July 2024, Dr Fearnley will be coming into the studio for a live discussion on the numerous high-profile visitors, including two former presidents, Ulysses S Grant (1877) and Woodrow Wilson (1918), Why Manchester has a statue of Abraham Lincoln in the city centre and a why writers, artist, campaigners, some former slaves championed the cause of emancipation during public speeches at the Free trade hall, Town Hall and the Manchester Atheneum. Benjamin Franklin, a statesman who also flew kites to experiment with electricity, visited Manchester and Leeds in 1771 to meet with Joseph Priestley. Why did they come? Why did they choose Manchester, and what was the impact of their interactions with the people of Manchester? Join us tomorrow - live from 13:00 on ALLFM 96.9 or online at alfm.org
