As an aspiring architect born and raised in North Carolina, this is really inspiring to watch. I've always wanted to merge art and STEM in a meaningful way that can influence society and change people's lives, and architecture is a phenomenal way to do that. Mr. Freelon was a spectacular architect and he has had a lasting impact on telling the African American narrative. I would have loved to have met him, but I will continue to study his work and his profound dedication to our culture, and may he rest in power.
Last week, I finally visited the SUBLIME National Museum of African American History & Culture. I can't find the right words to appropriately express the joie, delectation, utmost admiration of the structure (architecturally), and its content. The work of the late Mr. Freelon and Mr. Adjaye is outstanding! I plan to continue visiting there this upcoming Aug 2024 and, intermittently, many more times in the future, God willing.
