If you want war, keep the arrows you are going to need them." Rome will offer a peace treaty that will grant the African Queen everything she wanted. IMHOTEP“

HISTORY HUSTLE Paul Williams was a Black architect who learned to draw upside down so he could sit across from clients, as many of them in the 1920's wouldn't sit next to him. He wanted to prove to himself that he "deserved a place in the world," and went on to win numerous awards and design houses for Frank Sinatra and Lucille Ball, built in neighborhoods he wasn't even allowed to live in.“
