He is also a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences; the director and founder of Carnegie Mellon’s Center for Africanamerican Urban Studies and the Economy (CAUSE) and past president of both the Urban History Association and the Labor and Working Class History Association. \nThis lecture is based upon Dr. Trotter’s recent book\, Building the Black City: The Transformation of American Life (California\, 2024).  While contemporary urban and labor studies acknowledge the impact of Black labor on the built environment of American cities\, both  scholars and the larger public have found it more difficult to conceptualize predominantly poor and working class Black urbanites as “City-Builders.”  Hence\, this talk will underscore how African Americans double-taxed their own labor and built their own city within the city to serve their own needs.  Whereas the case for reparations is usually based on land dispossession\, unpaid and underpaid labor\, this lecture will move the notion of a “Black City” from the periphery to the center of the case for reparatory justice for descendants of African people “enslaved” and later “Jim Crowed” in the United States of America.  As such\, the case for reparations\, he concludes\, must also include a focus on the creativity of Black people as “City-Builders” in their own interests as well as exploited workers. \nThe Dean’s Distinguished Lecture in the Humanities is made possible by generous funding from the Vilas Trust.
