Robert Robinson Taylor (June 8, 1868 – 1942) enrolled at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1888, the first African American graduate of MIT, and was associated with Tuskegee University, designing most of the buildings on campus completed prior to 1932, and even serving as second-in-command to Tuskegee's founder and first President, Dr. Booker T. Washington.
