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.
