While others tear down ... WE BUILD UP! LOVE … the victory has already been WON!!!!!!!!!!!!
Architects see their creations as an extension of their being in service to humanity … our buildings often feel in many ways like an offspring. The disgraceful defacing of the African Burial Ground National Memorial with malicious racial slurs a few days ago is an outrage and completely unacceptable.

The ABGNM is a deeply sacred ground honoring the souls whose lives were sacrificed through the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. These were honorable people that built much of the early colonial Manhattan. Please check with your local officials to see how you can express your disapproval and outrage over this vicious act.
… reject fear!!!! LOVE … be on the right side of eternity!!!
While others tear down WE BUILD UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grateful to all those who assisted our design team in creating the African Burial Ground National Monument! Celebrating the 10th Anniversary!!!!!!
