CARRIES 'ON ^r01)A\Mi:3AKE
Down in Montgomery, ALv.,'
there i<5 a fine old colonial mansion
which has teen preserved as an
outstanding example of early Anrerican
architecture. Visitors
the mansion was constructed bp.
Samuel Carter, one of the most fa-1
rnous of the nrvny Negro slaveartisans
of the old South.
. Today, a namesake of. - Sapue)
Cart)er~-the son of one of nis most
apt apprentices?is carrying o n
the tradition of the early Negro
artisan, and on a scale' which the
slave-builder could scarcely have
imagined. ? . '' ]
Within the last eiglitceji mc?nihs_.
Ibis" namesake, Samuel Plato, has
completed Federai project's costing
^nrft than S2.800.000 In hi*
15 years as a building contractor
he has constructed 28 U. S.,Post
Offices. He ha<. erected armory
tuildings fov the -State of Ohio at
. ... Z<uiesville and Ser.io.'-'
Tne 58-year-old Negro corrtfar-"
tor has .just completed Wake and
Midway Halls, residence buildings
in Washington, D. C,, for the tFedeuJ
Works Agency. These temJJpn|i*y.4buildingt.
will house 1.12H
jWOnien war workers, with facilifor
an iniirmary, cafeteria.
^Creation hall, laundry, beauty
parfor and oth>v community accommodations.
Lt is a long step from Samuel
Carter to Samuel Plato, but it .is
a direct Ptep. When the old slave
builder. obtained his freedom, he
set out to perpetuate his tradi.
t?on by apprenticing several prom
ising young Negroes, ,in hia niltivo
Alabama. One of his favorite apprentices
wus James Plato, an ambitious
young resident of Waiigh,
AJa., near Tuskegee.
So .pleaded \vaa Carter at young
Plato's aptitude that he bequeathed
him his tools at his death. And
so grateful was Plato to his benefactor
that, when hir, first son was
bofn, he christened him Samuel in
honor of his esteemed instructor.
Young Samuel lived up to his
.name?early. At eight, he had <
learned to use the tools of his
\ trade. At 17, ho received hi, first
big job as a builder?on the con*
struction of a country store. At
to u;_ -urn ^ i-.,.1 -t
tracted s0 much attention that a
white neighbor?Mr. Grant?urged
him to set up business ac abuilding
instructor and 'insisted ,
him in his. early efforts.
Before he could get established
however Sam Plato's family, like
that of another Alabaman,
^ouis. joined the northern migration,
and settled ir. Louisville, Ky.
Voung Sam enrolled in the Louisville
Normal school and for a
V*hHe eomwiered a o iroo r as a
lawyer. He wa? still considering
this career when the family mov,
.eel the second time to Marion, Ind.
j? Again a white .neighbor sent
* J^ito back to his tools. ^A ?promi,
German-American foundry
iinor, learning 01 tne you^P if,
skill as a carpenter, urged him
become a building contractor
backed him in the venture.
His first contract was for the
erection of a residence for the director
of the Indiana Business^epl
lege. The direcKrrr, who had seen
Jiiw skilled Negroes in Marion.
so pleased with the job that
ne became friendly with the con-,
tractor find discussed hi.i prob;_
tfems. As a result, Mr. Plato wvs
able to induce the educator to. admit
Negroes to his school for the
first time, after outlining the need
i'qr more trained Negro business
men and teehniciahs. ,'r/:
