Wallace Rayfield was a legendary craftsman who was the second in the
nation to be licensed, as well as the first black architect in Alabama.
He worked alongside Robert Taylor, the first licensed black architect in
history, as the two of them taught at Tuskegee Institute under Booker
T. Washington. Rayfield’s work as an architect consisted of designing
the most significant buildings in civil rights history, including 16th
Street Baptist Church and Ebenezer Baptist Church.
