The Radical Practice of James Homer Garrott: Civil Rights Activist and Modernist Architect
Los Angeles-based architect James Homer Garrott (1897-1991) has been described as a “pivotal black avant garde modernist of the 1940s era.” Despite being credited with designing over 200 structures, his work remains largely unknown. This self-guided Trail map — curated by a noted Garrott scholar — explores five exteriors of key structures, illuminating both their built qualities and telling the stories of the passionate civil rights leaders who inhabited them.
