Reads like an essay
[edit]I just had a look at this. While I think it is salvageable, the material constituting most of the first half of the article reads like an essay with an advocacy agenda. The only real alternatives are a serious rework or major cuts. If no one does the serious rework in the next few weeks, I will probably do the major cuts. - Jmabel | Talk 17:51, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress

Lead
[edit]User:Natemup has added the following to the lead:
- Their work in the more distant past was often overlooked or outright erased from the historical records due to the racist social dynamics at play in the country (and also due to the proxied nature of the profession itself), but the black members of the profession—and their historic contributions—have become somewhat more recognized since.[1]
"The experience of being Black in architecture involves learning about a discipline that does not include the contributions of African American architects like Paul Revere Williams, Robert R. Taylor, Walter T. Bailey and Wallace Rayfield within the canons of the profession... The experience of being Black in architecture requires you to unearth the accomplishments of other Blacks in architecture to understand how they navigated the often tumultuous waters of the profession." (Dr. Kwesi Daniels, MArch, MSc Sust. Mgmt, ABD)[1]
The source cited is from Cultured Magazine, a source so non-notable it was deleted from Wikipedia. Within that source is an interview with "Dr. Kwesi Daniels", from which the statement above was gleaned. Dr. Daniels is not a notable source, and his opinion, as well as the unsourced interpretation of that opinion made by the editor who added it, should be removed from the lead.
