“I felt with Gyo that here was a man who’d listen. Some of the
architects whom we had interviewed we found that they were
more interested in our listening to them. But with Gyo I felt that
he was interested in listening to us. That made a very big
difference indeed.”
Abbott Luke Rigby, Priory Chapel
“The difference in our meeting with Gyo was first, that he
listened. And he was really the first person who sat there and
listened to what we wanted. And then he asked the right
questions, which was more about what we wanted the
building to feel like and what we wanted the atmosphere to be
like and what we wanted people to feel like when they walked
out of the building.”
Bill Wrigley, Chairman, Wrigley Company
“By 1966, the African American architect emerged from the
spare bedroom, converted garage or corner of his living room.
Many of these architects had spent years working for large
firms as draftspersons, drawing details but never allowed to
meet with clients. The African-American architect was an
invisible person with no friends in high places.”
– Harry Overstreet, AIA, NOMA
“It was the 60’s, a very heady time in terms of African American
empowerment. There was slowly starting to be interest, maybe
curiosity to have people of color involved in the profession. We
benefited from that. Then affirmative action came along and that
was very important. But affirmative action only addressed the
10% of construction that is public and usually only 10% of that
10%. So we were often dealing with 1% of the total pie.”

IDENTITY
“What it all comes down to is that we are the sum of
our efforts to change who we are. Identity is no
museum piece sitting stockstill in a display case, but
rather the endlessly astonishing synthesis of the
contradictions of everyday life.”
Eduardo Galeano, Uruguayan writer
“Growing up, I thought I was white. It didn’t occur to me that
I wasn’t white. Growing up, I think I was very naïve about
fitting in…I studied like crazy. I was a Class A nerd.”
“I never once asked the veterans ‘what was it like in the
war?’ Because from my point of view, you stay reserved.
You don’t pry into other people’s business…It’s very hard
for me to ask people, unless they offer it.”
“I’m a walking identity crisis,” Zacharjasz says, laughing.
“Jews are always surprised to know I’m Latino and Latinos are
always surprised to know I’m Jewish.” He takes pride in both
his cultural heritages and uses the best of each to educate
and illuminate. “I always wanted to help out the Latino
community. I think it’s important to be a (Jewish) community
leader, but it’s also a great way for people to understand what
the Jewish community is all about. I’m constantly going back
and forth. It’s great. I’m sort of a conduit.”
"Both of my parents are from Afghanistan. The minute I came into
my house, I was living in a different set of rules, a different context.
And the minute I left my house, I was living in the real world.
Having to consider both cultures at the same time, all the time. For
instance, we couldn’t socialize with a lot of Americans. My parents
were really into keeping our heritage alive, our culture alive. There
are more differences than similarities, in my parents' minds. “
“My children are far more accommodating than I am. I
remembered when Emmitt Till was killed. I marched in Selma
with Dr. King. I was there when a lot of stuff was happening and
there are things that happened that I won’t forget. I’ll try and work
around them but I won’t forget. I don’t accept the fact that this
stuff is gone. We still have to work harder to get less but I’m
willing to do that.”
