An absolute treasure of a documentary! Must be seen

This documentary of the life and the architectural production by one of the finest architects the US has ever known is truly wondrous. From his orphaning at 4 years old to his patient and steady acquisition of the tools he needed to accomplish his desire--to become an architect--is a trajectory not to be missed. While his early teachers told him no Black person could become an architect ['your Black clients would be too poor; and white rich people wouldn't hire you'] he vaulted to true architectural stardom. His gorgeous, unique designs found love from Sinatra to Cary Grant. He contributed to both his family and the Black community in unbelievably generous and thoughtful ways.
