Mary Ruffin commented on the petition |About 10 years ago, the Oxford American magazine published an interview with Sam Mockbee the great architect and he listed his 10 favorite works of southern architecture. The Phillis Wheatley School was one of the 10. Based on that recommendation, the next time I visited the city for my work with the National Trust for Historic Preservation I asked my hostess to take me there. She, a native New Orleanean, did not know the building and it took us a while to find it. But when we did, we were dumbstruck. I am not a huge fan of modern architecture but even I could see that this was an amazing piece of architecture. Please do not allow it to be demolished. I realize that as I am not a resident or a constituent, my voice may not "count" as much. But I love your city and I spent Oct-Dec 2005 there coordinating volunteers post Katrina. Do not lose this landmark. It will be a huge loss for you and for all of us who love New Orlenas and love architecture.
