Public art and architecture worthy of our great republic. We do so by advocating for the Classical Tradition in civic design. We believe that tradition is unparalleled in its dignity, beauty and harmony, not to mention its legibility to the common man. It is no accident that the Founding Fathers chose the classical style when designing the Nations Capital and its core buildings of government. The founders sought to harken back to republic rome and democratic athens and knew that classical architecture was time honored and timeless. The National Civic arts Society Works to continue and expand upon the founders vision for the Nations Capital in federal design generally. I perhaps dont need to tell you that since the 1950s, washington, d. C. Has been marred and disfigured by federal buildings and memorials that do not comport with the citys classical heritage and identity.

America the story of africanamericans in world war ii is indeed a legacy of patriotism and valor. In 1941, americans looked at their world and saw war everywhere. Across the atlantic, german troops occupied nearly every inch of europe, from france to russia, to the baltic sea to africa. In the pacific, the Japanese Army has captured many areas. Pearl harbor would stun the United States into war. The first thing i did was go down to the Army Recruiting station and enlist in the service of my country. I was told there was no quarter for black troops. You got to remember that this country was very discriminatory, d segregated and there was no change. First of all, black sailors as sailors per se werent permitted into the navy. Given the fact that i was in the segregated army, that made no difference. I joined the army to fight for the country.
