Peter Kuttner's message of June 11th resonated in my mind in regards to his comment".... how we might turn resolution into actions we can take together." Jan Wampler's NYT idea sparked me as well. I had spoken with two architects who are in the COF with the following idea and they agreed that this proposal was worthy of investigation.

1. Take a Stand by supporting the education of future architecture students of minority background:

The College of Fellows would send a message to the deans and faculty of the Historical Black Colleges and Universities [i.e. HBCU] list of twelve [12] architecture programs. The message would be personal and direct with offers to participate in juries and/or to sponsor summer internships and/or other activities as approved by College of Fellows.

A contribution to each of the 12 HBCU architecture programs would be included in the message from the College of Fellows.

2. Take a Stand by supporting efforts to educate K-12 students of minority background of a career in architecture

A contribution to the National Organization of Minority Architects [i.e. NOMA] Project Pipeline Fund would be made with a possible multi-year commitment.

According to the NOMA website, the Project Pipelines "serves a diverse population of K-12 students, all of whom are underrepresented in the design field. Our program better prepares students for college and life beyond. Through project pipeline, young people grasp the significance of architecture in their daily lives, as well as the broader cultural, social, and historical implications" according to the NOMA website.

I appreciate the opportunity to propose this recommendation and I am honored to be among the College of such amazing architects. I am glad to step forward with these proposals.

I am a new Fellow, Class of 2020, and after serving in leadership roles within my local AIA chapter and establishing a non-profit 501.3c organization, the Coalition of Community College Architecture Programs [i.e. CCCAP], I believe that such actions would have an impact.  Living a life of white privilege has been an invisible benefit which was taken for granted with no harmful intent.

Taking a Stand as a group of FAIA is certainly a meaningful step. I look forward to hearing back from you.
