About this ebook
Horace King, Builder of Bridges traces the life work of bridge builder, engineer, and architect Horace King in a visual format. A man beyond his time, King defied the odds and defined his self-existence through the bridges, buildings, and interior works he designed and built in the South.
The book features artwork from the Bridge Builders Series, poetry, and discussion questions by Obiora N. Anekwe. Dr. Anekwe painted twenty original art canvas panels for his book about Horace King’s professional life and his immediate family members. These panels were created within a 2-year period in Brooklyn and Schroon Lake, New York during the Covid-19 pandemic.
