Architecture structures our daily lives. It shapes our homes, streets, neighborhoods, cities and more. But who gets to create and occupy these spaces? In the United States, a long history of anti-Black racism has created spatial inequalities that are built into the physical environment and erased the stories of Black architects and communities.

TOP REVIEWS FROM REIMAGINING BLACKNESS AND ARCHITECTURE
Great content and good mix of readings and videos. Made me aware of so many artists and architects and activists that I had never heard of before.
This course was better than I ever imagined. Truly appreciative that I had the opportunity to learn about architecture and art from a whole new perspective. Loved every second.
The course designers did a great job including so much important information in six weeks.
An engaging, well-paced, critical course. Would recommend to all architects.
