This is from the Wikipedia biography of the architect Paul R. Williams: Williams won an architectural competition at age 25 and three years later opened his own office. Known as an outstanding draftsman, he perfected the skill of rendering drawings UPSIDE DOWN. (emphasis mine) This skill was developed so that his white clients (who might have been uncomfortable sitting next to a black architect) could see the drawings rendered right side up across the table from him. After reading this I was immediately reminded of a quote from James Baldwin I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually!
