Slave Memorials and Black Firms

Kelly Beamon has spent 18 years producing architecture and design content, with focuses on historic house styles, building materials, and kitchen and bath trends for Architectural Record, This Old House, Interior Design, Surface and HD magazine. An additional area of constant research and curiosity has been the impact of the A&D community on such issues as affordable housing, building decarbonization, design education, and the schools-to-practice pipeline. Ms. Beamon’s work has been referenced by the New York Times, ABC News, and USA Today. She is currently senior editor for Metropolis magazine. Why Aren’t Black Firms Working on Memorials to Slavery?
