It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution
We set out to prepare the first directory of African American Architects in late 1989. Our goal was to substantiate with statistics what we and others had concluded on the basis of anecdote: that African American architects considered themselves underrepresented in a largely "white gentleman's profession."
The Directories of Diverse Architects and Designers is the child of the Directory of African-American Architects, and is a project of NOMA, the National Organization of Minority Architects. The DDAD's goal is to catalog, educate and enlighten.
