The Getty Foundation's Conserving Black Modernism initiative addresses historical oversight by preserving the architectural contributions of African American architects within the Modernist movement.
With funding awarded for eight significant buildings in its inaugural year, the initiative not only highlights the cultural significance but also supports community empowerment through preservation.
The initiative's partnership with the National Trust aims to reshape the narrative of modern architecture by showcasing the vital contributions of African American architects.
Set to conclude in 2025, the program is committed to transforming how modernism's history is understood, promoting a more inclusive narrative of this architectural movement.
