Trey’s Table Episode 453: The Black Family Who Built America

From an enslaved master craftsman in 1790 to the nation’s oldest Black-owned architecture and construction management firm—this is the story you weren’t taught in history class. 🏛️✨ On this latest episode of Trey’s Table, we explore the groundbreaking legacy of the McKissack family. Their work spans over two centuries, from building the Tuskegee Army Airfield during WWII to landmark projects at Howard University, the MLK Jr. Memorial, and the Obama Presidential Center. We also dive into the harsh reality facing Black-owned and women-led enterprises today as DEI initiatives and federal contracting opportunities come under fire. 🎙️ Episode available now.
