I want to thank Karen Morin, Garth Myers, and Jamie Winders for organizing that event, and for proffering the invitation to speak. I was honored to have been asked, and am grateful to those friends and colleagues who came to the talk, and asked very good questions of the ideas and examples presented below. The experience speaks well of “historical geography” and of historical geographers. All of my scholarly work is, I think, deeply historical, and committed to empirically tracing the presence of the past in our claims about the present and the future.

The empirical component begins with a contemporary (potential) racial flashpoint as a catalyst for unpacking the city's urban morphological transformations since the late 18th century. The Lexington case illustrates the importance of particular understandings of urban sociospatial form as key in shaping racialized landscapes in general. It also contributes to a richer understanding of Southern city form and development, and ultimately holds forth the possibilities for intervening in urban sociospatial processes through the cultural landscape to challenge the always-reformulating processes of racial formation.
