Extractions: Arthur Timothy, Annette Fisher and the Society of Black Architects Building Black Community Arthur Timothy Turning plans into reality is Architect Arthur Timothy's profession. But giving new life to communities and nurturing the talents of black youth is his proudest goal. Timothy, who has offices in London, is the son of professional parents - Adeline Dove of Ghana and Bankole Timothy of Sierra Leone, one-time editor of the Daily Graphic in Accra. "I went to public school in England and had all the advantages of a good education, and our practice is thriving," he says. Meeting needs What excites Timothy most is "making a difference where it counts for black people". This means putting his skills to work improving inner city neighbourhoods. It is a crucial service for black communities whose needs are not met by public and market-led renewal schemes. But establishing a reputation among the 30,000 architects in Britain is not easy, he says. Within a profession which is middle-class and white "many black architects have been denied good commissions and opportunities to broaden their skills". Prejudice also plays a part and "local authorities and property developers can be the worst culprits", he says. Overcoming these barriers is a major task. "We need more black architects and greater public awareness of their skills", says Timothy. It is no surprise, then, to learn that these are the aims of the 70-member Society of Black Architects (SOBA) of which forty are students. His views are shared by colleagues - among them Kwasi Boateng, SOBA chairman, Chris Nasah of Cameroon, a partner in Knak Design, and Wilfred Achille of Trinidadian background who is partner in Mode 1 architects.
Extractions: In this fascinating biography, Dennis S. Nordin chronicles the life of Arthur Wergs Mitchell, the first black Democrat to be elected to Congress. Although he is now one of history's forgotten figures, Mitchell was once almost as well known among black college students as Jesse Owens and Joe Louis. Nordin, however, shows that Mitchell's achievements and thus his fame were the direct result of his dishonorable deeds. Mitchell's life began humbly in rural Alabama in 1883. After a memorable boyhood, he studied briefly at Tuskegee Institute, which had a major effect on Mitchell's outlook. He went on to study law in Washington, D.C., and thereafter became involved in politics when the Republicans sent him to Chicago in 1928 to campaign for Herbert Hoover. Impressed by Chicago's ward system and patronage politics, he returned to the city and made a bid for a congressional seat, changing political parties in an effort to oust black Republican Congressman Oscar DePriest. To accomplish this, Mitchell resorted to "Uncle Tomming," ingratiating himself with the white bosses of the Chicago Machine. Within five years a Machine nomination was in hand, and Mitchell found himself owing his political success and thus his loyalty to the Chicago Machine. Because he was under strict orders from Chicago Mayor Ed Kelly not to cause problems or be confrontational, Mitchell rarely, if ever, supported the interests of his constituents.
