STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mississippi State’s School of Architecture is hosting “Mississippi African American Churches, 19th Century to 1920” through Sept. 27 on the Starkville campus.
Located in McNeel Gallery at Giles Hall, the exhibition introduces and examines the historical, socio-cultural, religious and architectural influence people and events had on the design and construction of early African American church buildings constructed between 1800 and the 1920s.

The majority of the photos featured were taken by Christopher Hunter, 鶹AV assistant professor of architecture. He said the exhibition is part of a broad effort to highlight African American church houses throughout the South.
