Taylor - son of an enslaved carpenter who became MIT's first Black graduate in 1892 and America's first academically trained Black architect. From slavery to designing entire university campuses, his 40-year career at Tuskegee created architectural masterpieces that still stand today. This is what breaking barriers really means. #MIT #BlackHistory #Architecture #Success #RobertRTaylor, #MIT, #BlackHist
