Join us on September 30 to recognize the impact and legacy of Robert Robinson Taylor (Class of 1892), MIT’s first Black graduate, the first accredited Black Architect in the United States, and a founder of Tuskegee University and its architecture school. This gathering celebrates the loan of Taylor’s MIT diploma to the campus for the inaugural exhibition of the new MIT Museum by Valerie Jarrett, CEO of the Barack Obama Foundation and Taylor’s great granddaughter. The discussion will include reflections on Taylor’s legacy and new collaborations between Tuskegee and MIT by Professor of the History and Theory of Architecture Mark Jarzombek, as well as Kwesi Daniels, professor and head of the architecture department at Tuskegee University. Event is Sept. 30 at 4 pm in 6-120. Individuals who do not have an active MIT identification card or an active mit.edu e-mail address will have to register for a Tim Ticket, MIT's visitor pass system, to gain access to campus facilities.
