Pictured: (Esther) Juanita Jackson Smart and Richard Smart with daughter Deborah Smart. My mother. Korean War Vet and Teacher, Richard, and English Teacher, Juanita, left a segregated South Carolina when my mother was about 6 in search of better opportunities for their two children and for themselves. They moved to Detroit, Michigan where they both worked in the school system, influencing the lives of hundreds of kids over the course of their careers. They both studied every summer at various universities to complete their Master’s degrees. As fervent believers in education, they insisted on sending my mother to the best schools in town. As a result, my mother integrated two elementary schools in Detroit and was the only black child in each school until her younger brother, Richard Smart III, joined her. My mother, a copious reader, inhaled thousands of words a week. She won the school spelling bee. Her prize, a shiny new encyclopedia was stolen out of her locker. The school authorities accused her own brother of taking it because “none of the other children in the school would ever steal.” The encyclopedia was never found. Unphased by school nonsense, mother continued to read books and get A’s. She graduated from Cass Technical High School with a focus on the sciences. The following year she attended The University of Michigan where she then became the only black student in her organic chemistry classes. She studied hard and made up songs to remember anatomy. She took Calculus as an elective because “it was fun.” She studied some more. Riding her bike down South Division street, she stopped at her mailbox during her Senior Year to find a letter from the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. She was accepted to medical school. My mother continued making up songs and studying all the way through medical school, continuing to be unphased by her position as one of the only students of color. She became Dr. Deborah Y. Smart in 1979. Her younger brother went on to graduate from The University of Michigan and The Wayne State University Law School. Dr. Smart dated and intimidated several men who were not accustomed to a well-read black woman doctor for a girlfriend. She decided she would likely adopt a child and live her life happily as a mother and a full-time physician who loved to read. She met my father at her best friend’s wedding. He was nice. He often brought food to the hospital where she worked when she was on 24-hour call. Eventually she agreed to marry him. Richard and Juanita Smart continue to live in Michigan and are active in several national and city organizations. They are still fervent believers in the power of education and support and encourage their grandchildren to do and be their best. They travel to South Carolina at least once a year, making sure to visit the family cemetery where they say: “If you could only see what we did, Momma and Daddy. If only you were here.” Happy Black History Month.

The first weekend

After the intense 9 month wait to begin school, my three day weekend was spent in equal parts study, play, and rest. In an attempt to get some sleep for week two, insomnia strikes once again, ensuring a cranky, unmotivated morning to come. Thus, this blog was born. I hope to generate an accurate record of my uneasy transition from military to civilian to student, so keep tuned in for the adventures to come.

Throwback Thursday: Gunner’s Mate School

Located at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center in suburban Chicago, the Gunner’s Mate School was the world’s largest steel mullion and glass curtain wall building when completed in 1954. Spanned by overhead trusses, the building’s column-free interior was vast enough to accommodate full-scale mockups of Navy gun decks, where cadets could simulate conditions at sea. This early work by Bruce Graham and William Priestley was among the earliest realizations of the concept of universal space: the principle that well-designed, open-span spaces can adapt to a multitude of functions over time. The structural clarity achieved with the Gunner’s Mate School would inform many later SOM projects, from the John Hancock Center to Willis Tower.
