The pioneering African American woman architect Amaza Lee Meredith (born in 1895) is celebrated in one of the latest episodes of the New Angle: Voice audio documentary series created by Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation.
Meredith’s life, which included designing a summer destination for middle-class African Americans in Sag Harbor on the east end of Long Island in 1947, will soon be in the popular imagination; actor Laurence Fishburne is producing a new HBOMax series based on Colson Whitehead’s novel Sag Harbor.
