The SAH | Places | Graham Foundation Prize is a unique collaboration between the Society of Architectural Historians, Places Journal, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts that supports innovative public scholarship on race, architecture, and the built environment. The Prize aims to expand the contemporary discussion on race and the built environment through the production of a significant work of public scholarship to be published in Places and presented as a lecture by SAH. It was envisioned by Charles L. Davis II, an associate professor of architectural history and criticism at the University of Texas at Austin and co-founder of the SAH Race + Architectural History Affiliate Group.

Architectural historian Ginger Nolan is the recipient of the 2023 SAH | Places Prize. On October 20, 2023, she delivered the SAH | Places Prize Lecture, "Black Capitalism and the City: African American Insurance and the Actuarial Double-Bind," at the Graham Foundation. Her essay is available to read online via Places Journal
