SUMMARY:Foundations of Legacy: Laurence Johnson\, Sr.\, AIA\, and the Untold Story of Black Architects in AIA New Jersey
DESCRIPTION:Reading Time:   < 1 minuteIn recognition of the 125th Anniversary of AIA New Jersey\, the AIA NJ Equity in Architecture Committee invites you to a powerful and enlightening conversation with Larry Johnson\, Sr.\, AIA\, a trailblazing architect and influential figure in New Jersey’s architectural history. This special webinar will explore the often-overlooked legacy of Black architects in the state and within AIA New Jersey. Mr. Johnson\, principal owner of Johnson Jones Architects Planners\, Inc.\, formerly based in Princeton and Newark\, began his journey as the first employee of Brown and Hale Architects\, the first African-American architectural firm in New Jersey. Founded in 1960 by William M. Brown Jr.\, AIA and Reginald C. Hale\, AIA\, Brown and Hale became a vital training ground for many aspiring Black architects\, including Mr. Johnson. \nModerated by AIA NJ Equity in Architecture Chair Stacey Ruhle Kliesch\, AIA\, and AIA NJ Past President William Brown\, III\, FAIA\, NOMAC\, this webinar will reflect on the personal stories\, mentorship\, and resilience that helped shape a generation of architects who contributed significantly to the built environment of New Jersey—yet whose stories remain largely untold. \nJoin us as we celebrate this important chapter in our state’s architectural legacy and honor those who paved the way for future generations.
