28 Days of Black Designers A project that spotlights black designers during Black History Month
The 28 Days of Black Designers project is a design project that focuses on the stories and work of African American / Black designers. The black community lack stories and accomplishments of black artists. To help facilitate this need this 28-day project will allow the awareness and celebration of black designers during Black History Month. Yes, I agree that this should be a year-long celebration but is the right marketing tool for the curation and execution of this kind of project.

Albert Moore was the Agriculturist at Flanner House during the late 1940's Click the link below to view a timeline of his activities and accomplishments.

Flanner House traces it's beginning back to 1898. Flanner House was named after Frank Flanner (1854-1912), a local philanthropist and mortician. In 1898, he donated a piece of property containing two buildings to the Charity Organization Society, a group operating a social settlement for the city's white population.

Albert Moore also traces his beginings back to 1898. In the 1910 Census, Albert appears on line 7 as a 12 year old, and his father William is on line 1 with his occupation listed as "Farmer".

According to our oral family history, William Moore was born William Gordon and was enslaved. William changed his last name to Moore to better find his siblings after the Civil War. Our Oral history has be confirmed by census and marriage records. Line 89 of the 1900 Census confirms William Moore's name after he changed it in 1885. The listing of marriage records shows William Gordon making a marriage bond with my grandmother, Ella Bolton in 1885, and marrying her a year later as William Moore.

Almost a half century later the arc of these two entities will intersect.

Black Enterprise Magazine 100 Men of Distinction
Black Enterprise Magazine 100 Men of Distinction
Meet the 'Urbanist' Justin Moore.
When I tell people that I am an urban designer they usually ask whether I design clothes or jewelry. They are shocked when I tell them I design neighborhoods, and that is a shame. The design, planning, and built environment fields have so few people of color—and especially black males. It means a lot to have the kind of work that I do be highlighted in the black community in the hope that it might inspire more people to be interested.

In March 1942, Life magazine published an article about the newly incorporated Tuskegee Airmen. For 10 cents, readers could buy the issue that included photos of the elder DeBow.
 
A sign of the times, the article, in part, read: 'White instructors of the 99th agree that their Negro charges, by virtue of exceptional eyesight, courage and coordination, will prove crack combat pilots. Upon their performance and promise hang the hope of additional thousands of aspiring Negro fliers throughout the land.'

Capt. William DeBow is the son of Lt. Col. Charles H. DeBow Jr., a member of the first graduating class of five Tuskegee Airmen. DeBow holds a copy of Life Magazine from March 23, 1942, that has a story about the Tuskegee Airmen. His father flew combat missions during World War II.

The 99th was deployed overseas to fight in the European theater. After 52 missions aboard a P-51 Mustang, Charles DeBow was injured and lost his flight status. When he returned home, and after the war ended, the young lieutenant colonel married and continued his education and eventually worked as a high school teacher and university professor in Indiana.
