Robert R. Taylor and Tuskegee interweaves the life of the first academically trained African American architect with his lifes workthe campus of Booker T. Washingtons Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. In this richly illustrated architectural history, the author shows how a black youth born in North Carolina shortly after the Civil War earned a professional architecture degree at MIT and how he then used his design and administrative skills to further Booker T. Washingtons agenda of community solidarity andin defiance of the then-expanding Jim Crow policiesthe public expression of racial pride and progress.
