There are 2,378 Black Architects in our country. . Some of you have worked in offices with that many or more people. . Some of have lived in dorms or apartment complexes with that many people or more.... . Some of you been to conferences with that many or more participants. . Needless to say, there are only enough Black Architects in America to occupy a small to medium small office building. . That's why the work that we do through @draftingdreams and @28blackarchitectsin28days, the work that @thehiphoparchitect does through @hiphoparchitecture, @tarchitectsceo does through @tcaad2020, @skibison does through @kulimadesign and the work of many others is SO IMPORTANT! . #BlackArchitects #28BlackArchitectsIn28Days #BlackHistory #Architecture #Community #teachk12architecture See more
