In England, where architecture was increasingly seen as an aristocratic pursuit, noblemen often applied what they learned from the villas of Palladio in the Veneto and the evocative ( ' , 唤起回忆的) ruins of Rome to their own country houses and gardens.

What Nijay didn't realize about his school—Tennessee State University — was its frighteningly low graduation rate: a mere 29 percent for its first-generation students.

Twenty years later, it was purposefully dropped to make way for Negro.

To one group, he was identified as African-American, and another was told he was Black .
