About the authors:
\nDesigning Victory is the remarkable memoir \;of a man who has always lived by T heodore Roosevelt&rsquo\;s words: &ldquo\;Far better is it to dare mighty things\, to win glorious triumphs\, even though checkered by failure.&rdqu o\; As a decorated member of the historic Buffalo Soldiers\, Second Lieute nant Robert P. Madison decided to enroll in the architecture program at We stern Reserve University in Cleveland\, Ohio\, only to be summarily denied access based on his race. He returned in full dress uniform\, with his Pu rple Heart from an injury sustained in Italy\, and declared they could not keep him out of college. Under duress\, he was admitted\, but told by the administrators that he would never work as an architect. How wrong they w ere. Madison opened the first African-American architectural firm in Ohio in 1954\, and only the 10th in the country. This was only the beginning of many accomplishments and contributions to American society. \;
