HOUSTON CHAPTER |
|
Twelve African-American architects from different parts of the country met, some for the first time, during the AIA National Convention in Detroit in 1971. What these professionals recognized was the desperate need for an organization dedicated to the development and advancement of minority architects. These African American architects wanted minority design professionals to work together to fight discriminatory policies that limit or bar minority architects from participating in design and constructions programs. With this idea, the National Organization of Minority Architects was formed.
Today, there are NOMA Chapters in all parts of the country. Each chapter is dedicated to aiding in the advancement of minorities and women in the profession and inspiring the next generation of architects.
