This is the magazine for the
National Association of Minority Architects. In 1968,
activist and executive director of the National Urban
League, Whitney Young was invited to address the AIA
National Convention in Portland where he addressed the
institute's silent stance on the turmoil in the country
and urged them to stand up and endorse the efforts of
John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. in their
actions. This speech encouraged the mostly white
profession to work towards the advancement of minority
architects, whom they had mostly ignored. At the time,
minority architects made up of 0.05% of AIA's 20,000
members. At the 1971 AIA National Convention in Detroit,
12 black architects began to organize to create NOMA.
The first president was founder Wendell Campbell.
