What a sentence: “Williams mastered a technique of upside down drafting which allowed white customers during segregation to consider his designs without having to sit next to a Black man.” Somehow, for me, this cuts to the heart of so much.

So not only did Williams go to school to become an architect, he had to invent a new way to ply his craft. Always have to work twice as hard. 😞

I worked on a film and we held the wrap party at the Theme Building at LAX.

Thank you again! These days, it's not the KKK or the Neo-Nazis that are our enemies, at least they are open with their racism and we have nothing to fear from them. It's the ones who are hiding in the closet behind conservative politics.

From experience i agree with the Reverend King that it is the moderate liberals who do more damage ... in a way. They think they are progressive but really cling to the status quo! The open racists at least give one something to actively engage with and keep the issue of racism hot and not on the back burner!
