The University Galleries at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, in collaboration with Preservation Greensboro, “We Built This: Profiles of Black Architects and Builders in North Carolina.”

The exhibit will feature the stories of those who constructed and designed many of North Carolina’s most treasured historic sites.“This exhibition will highlight individuals who overcame racism and economic challenges to create some of North Carolina’s most beautiful landmark buildings,” said Roy Carter, associate professor and visual arts program director. “Many times, we walk into these facilities and admire them, and are not aware of those who built them.”Executive Director of Preservation Greensboro Benjamin Briggs said, “We thought it was important to bring this exhibit to our city. Greensboro and North Carolina A&T hold important places in this inspirational story, and it is exciting to feature this exhibit on the university’s historic campus.”
