This Black History Month, with the theme of Labor, we highlight Paul Revere Williams, an architect whose labor shaped the skylines of Los Angeles and beyond.
Williams, the first African American architect certified west of the Mississippi, overcame immense barriers to design over 3,000 structures, including celebrity homes and iconic landmarks like the Theme Building at LAX. He famously learned to draw upside down to make clients feel comfortable during meetingsโa testament to his resilience and creativity.
