An apostate architect's take. Written a year ago. Now thinking 2 mil (half homes, half apartments). Black America can't just be consumers. Wealth creation requires massive engagement as builders- makers - in addition to all other things needing to happen.

@errollouis Love me some Erol Louis. This brother always cuts through the BS. As will Mamdani.

@JMitchellNews @andersonatlarge @andersonatlarge thank you, thank you for posting this. Garrison's Liberator inspire a 1970s Liberator Magazine, published by a very impactful Black NYC architect l followed.

Now listening to Trump deliver a Saturday Night Live skit. Do l laugh or cry? Oops, even SNL couldn't top this. Now thinking it is not funny at all; just so sad. He opened with his own scripted words but now adlibbing. Audience calling for old fans. OMG!!!! Elon, help.

[Melvin Mitchell @MelArch3]

Elon's X is an open sewer. A 10 minute stroll thru it must be followed by a 30 minute hot shower. An X stroll is as bad as witnessing a Trump Cabinet meeting.

@cwebbonline Smirking Jerk Jennings will gaslight anything the the Trump Maga machine does...literally anything.

@michaelharriot Trump has a "lookie! The Monkey speaks" reaction towards direct contact with any sane, intelligent Black person. See 2008 Obama, and his Birtherism (and "how did he get into Columbia and Harvard) response. Trump is only comfortable with Black buffoons and crackpots.

@Howard_CEA Long overdue but timely, Dean Jones. I was sitting behind you in the chapel on Saturday. Sorry, I missed you at the Repast.

@deepestsouth @GaryChambersJr But for the 1877 HT Compromise overthrowing Reconstruction, this New Africa would have been the literal outcome. Not as a separate nation but as in the WASP-controlled region of the U.S. known as New England. Enduring mystery is why this is not the consensus Black Agenda today.

@elonmusk Aaah, didn't you mean "Caucasian" humanity?

[Melvin Mitchell @MelArch3]

@michaelharriot Huge! Kudos Michael.

[Melvin Mitchell @MelArch3]

And there you have it! The Revolution he is calling for is much closer, thanks to the antics of the mad King George now in the Whitehouse.

Wake up Americans

@mmarshall_d Congrats on your savvy of penetrating international markets.

[Melvin Mitchell @MelArch3]

@bgoldst Crampton most definitely; one of several other Robinson-Williams designed buildings flanking what will be an alumi/students-packed "Yard" - the grand quadrangle laid out by David Williston. And framed by Albert Cassell's iconic library.

My anxieties.

[Melvin Mitchell @MelArch3]

See Charles Blow's book, The Devil You Know but with a few critical adjustments. The power of states (even more so as blocks) still rules supreme.

[Melvin Mitchell @MelArch3]

We can apply this to every American endeavor and profession. Btwn 1865 and the 1877 overthrow of Reconstruction the leveling playing field had us on track for total parity by 1900. The Confederacy becomes New Africa ala New England in the upper Northeast. That's still possible.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

Watched the movies Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick?

The first Top Gun competition was held in 1949. The white pilots competed with the latest state of art aircraft while the black pilots were forced to compete with older obsolete planes.

After 3 days of competition The Tuskegee Airmen team of : Captain Alva Temple, 1st Lieutenant Harry Stewart, 1st Lieutenant James Harvey, and 1st Lieutenant Halbert Alexander (alternate) were announced the winners. The official results for first place were recorded as “unknown” for nearly 46 years.

There was dead silence in the room. Not one of their colleagues applauded this accomplishment. The victory was swept under the rug and the trophy ‘went missing’ and was not seen by the public for 55 years (until 2004). Introducing the real Top Guns.

73 years after the historic win, the American Association of Retired Persons’ Wish of a Lifetime organization met with Harvey to grant his “wish” – that his team be widely recognized.
