American descendants of slavery share a unique & profound history in the construction of the United States...
In 1638, hundreds of skilled black slaves such as Carpenters, Brick Layers, and Iron-smiths helped construct the colonial capital of Williamsburg after Jamestown, VA burned to the ground.
American born, black Civil Engineer Benjamin Banneker developed the grand design for the capital of the United States. The city was then largely built by slave laborers & tradesmen.
After slavery, the construction of railroads across America was the most important industry that black skilled tradesmen worked in, and physically connected the nation.
Today, Black Tradesmen & Black owned construction firms are pivotal in managing & building multi-billion dollar projects across the United States.
Our network is built upon the success of our talented members.
