Do you ever just stop and think about the architectures that surround you every day? Maybe about how they were made, or what the inspiration was behind building them? People are often not aware of how the buildings came to be, they just care that it is there now.

Dorsey was originally from Georgia and made his way up to the urban city of Chicago, Illinois along with many other African-Americans from the South during the great migration to the North.

Later in his career life he turned to Gospel music in the church and is known to have composed over 400 Gospel Songs including his most famous song “Precious Lord, Take My Hand”.

Awed by this stalwart activist and with visions of the petite lady and her troop of Girl Scouts standing arm-in-arm defiantly defending the stained glass from burly and befuddled construction workers, I stepped out of my car, which gave the enthusiastic conversationalist time to catch her breath. The dialogue moved to the sidewalk and the shade of a nearby shop awning, where the discourse progressed to a casual exchange. I spoke of my trip home from Ames and my desire to indulge in the artistry of Louis Sullivan’s architectural genius. She disclosed that her husband had been a banker and that they had become enamored by Sullivan’s work while living in Blooming Prairie, Minnesota, not far from Sullivan’s Owatonna bank.
Louis Armstrong, also known as Satchmo or Pops, was a very influential man in music. He was born on August 4th, 1901, and rose to prominence as an African American musician during the 1920's, when several African Americans were making serious advances in music. He was very influential in changing jazz from a collective of players to solo performances. He was a very talented trumpet player and singer, and is still relevant in music today. I know people my age who still listen to him.
As referenced in Oxford Languages, a hero is “a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.” However, there is more to a hero than that.

Brave people, past or present, are commonly called heroes.

These architects considered almost visionaries applied to architecture engineering principles and managed to raise the first skyscraper replacing the traditional wooden structures and brick by frames of cement. ’’ After the fire a larger Chicago emerged.

This can be seen in one of his most notable pieces, the Lockheed Chair, which he regarded as “wearable body art”. (The Culture Clue,
Graphic designer, Louise Fili, grew up in an Italian-American family in New Jersey and fell in love with the homeland of her parents at the age of 16 years. Since then, her passion for design, typography and Italian food has influenced her career as a designer. Fili went to study studio arts at Skidmore College but instead found graphic design, as she states in an interview “I went to Skidmore College where, if you couldn’t paint, they told you that you were graphically oriented. That’s when I found out what graphic design was.”. Later in the 1970’s, she completed her final semester at the School of Visual Arts in New York and at the age of 25 she become senior designer for Herb Lubalin.
He also uses the Ten Books on Architecture written by Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446) to show Brunelleschi’s architecture and mathematical perspective to us. He uses footnotes to justify his statements he makes and does not provide a bibliography, but in the end of the book he does accredit all the pictures he has in his book. I do believe this book is very valuable to historians seeking to understand the past because this book shows how important and influential was this era of innovation and “new way of thinking”. The author does not show any prejudicial in any way and the author successfully fulfills his
