see right about the-now the lot is blue, but above that is elevated i think it is george washington carver school above it and the school district also owns the-to the left of the blue lot is the long skinny parcel, but even if we didn't get the school district lot it is a large space. on our third community meeting we told them there was a possibility of a grant so people were getting excite td about it and we told them when we thought we would come and talk to you about it and what we would do is if we get the grant we hold a couple community meetings specifically to work out the jeningplaza. the next slide we have some ideas. at this point because we are-things are so rough there are all kinds of elements that could be included in the plaza dependent on how much many we have. there could be planting and pace making, paving, street trees, lighting and fencing because the idea is to keep the yiria secure and clean and not let it become reblighted. the squej sin process now and we are just starting the design fauz so the timing is great because we would love to be able to include jenings p

washington and george washington carver made famous.nd aviation was going to be a big part in the war effort, and she went down there and not just embraced the tuskegee airmen, but gave them the publicity that they were part of we're in this together. and she went up -- i forget the exact amount of time -- but like an hour flight flying over the airspace with an african-american pilot. remember, theodore roosevelt got hammered for having booker t. washington in the white house. now eleanor roosevelt, his niece, is flying with the tuskegee airmen, you know, over southern, you know, airspace. i'll let you take on the naacp and all that. allida:: eleanor had worked very closely when the draft was being put into place to really encourage fdr to support the naacp's effort to get african-americans more involved in the war effort. fdr did not want to fund the tuskegee -- i mean, he did not want the tuskegee airmen to fly. the secretary of war, henry stimson, said leadership is not embedded in the negro race. it was a felony to give plasma that
