TODAY IN BLACK HISTORY - Feb. 18



Paul Revere Williams was born in Los Angeles, CA on February 18, 1894. Williams was one of the most well known 20th Century African American architects. Early in his career, Williams designed mostly houses, but in the 1950s and 1960s he designed some of the most distinctive public buildings in Los Angeles. Williams’s best-known building is probably the Theme Building at Los Angeles International Airport, which he designed with William Pereira. (Black Past)
