Johnny's cultural landscape research examines how basketball courts, situated in urban parks in major cities, served as place-makers and incubators for the development of Black culture. These performative spaces produced an intertwined development of sport, music, dance, fashion, and social aspiration. This will enable landscape architects to convey the value of these places and acknowledge their role as shapers of culture.
Johnny Shakir Macon, MLA, is a landscape designer and lecturer at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland.
