We were selected for our use of existing natural resources and historical buildings to reduce emissions, along with reducing construction needs and improving health benefits of employees. We’re proud to work from our 100+ year old church. It’s more modern than you’d think😉

As we celebrate Black History Month, we at Catalysis reflect on the contributions of African Americans to the United States. While we know notable figures often spotlighted during Black History Month, we’ve made it a goal to dig deeper and recognize those who have helped shape our world’s technology, creative, and how we live our day-to-day lives.

Each Friday this month, we’ll be highlighting a few historical figures that you may not know, but absolutely should. This week’s theme is TRAILBLAZERS:

Bayard Rustin led social movements for socialism, nonviolence, and gay rights. In the 1950’s and 60’s, Rustin was a key strategist of the Civil Rights Movement. In partnership with Martin Luther King Jr., he helped to organize the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and was the key organizer in the 1963 March On Washington for Jobs and Freedom. As a gay man, Rustin was attacked as a "pervert" and "immoral” by opponents as well as black leaders. This led him to become an advocate for gay and le***an rights in the 1980s. In 2013, President Barack Obama posthumously awarded Rustin the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his breadth of activism in his lifetime.

Dorothy Height was known as an architect of the Civil Rights movement. As president of the National Council of Negro Women, she focused on ending the lynching of African Americans and restructuring the criminal justice system. For 40 years, she led the NCNW in supporting voter registration, and aiding key civil rights activists across the country. Her experience in activism and organizing made her a trusted advisor of Eleanor Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Lyndon B. Johnson. Height was highly decorated for her decades of service to our country, including the Presidential Medal of freedom.

Each Friday this month, we’ll be highlighting a few historical figures that you may not know, but absolutely should. This week’s theme is PNW LEADERS:

Dr. Dolores Silas moved to Tacoma in 1953, settling in the Hilltop neighborhood that she would call home for the rest of her life. She was one of the first Black teachers in the Tacoma Schools, the district's first Black principal, and the first Black woman to be elected to the Tacoma City Council. In a life dedicated to education and the pursuit of social justice for all Tacomans, she also served as president of the Tacoma NAACP and worked with the Hilltop Multi-Service Center, the Tacoma Urban League, the Black Collective, and the Tacoma Human Rights Commission. On February 11, 2021, the Tacoma School Board of Directors voted unanimously to rename the 61-year-old Woodrow Wilson High School in Dr. Silas’ honor.

William Grose was an African-American pioneer of Seattle. He was that city's second black resident, and the wealthiest nineteenth-century member of Seattle's black community. His ranch on the former outskirts of town, along East Madison Street, eventually became the center of Seattle's black middle class. Grose, an early pioneer, entrepreneur, founder, and hotelier helped build the foundation to make Seattle one of the wealthiest cities. The Africatown Community Land Trust (ACLT) transformed the decommissioned Fire Station 6 into a technology center dedicated to helping mold Seattle’s next generation of tech developers, creative professionals, and future entrepreneurs—The William Grose Center for Cultural Innovation & Enterprise.

Each Friday this month, we’ll be highlighting a few historical figures that you may not know, but absolutely should. This week’s theme is CREATIVES:

Caroline R Jones was one of the first black women to break into the advertising industry. Beginning her career as a secretary, she rose to become the first African American copywriter at a major ad firm in 1963 at J. Walter Thompson, and went on to rise to Creative Director. Working in an executive creative position at several agencies, she eventually founded and became president of Caroline Jones Advertising. Through her work with clients like American Express, KFC, and Campbell’s soup, she worked to make advertising more inclusive of Blacks and other minorities – who were rarely shown in marketing.

Thomas Miller was a prolific graphic designer and visual artist known both for significant contributions to culture and the craft of design. In his decades-long career at one of the leading design studios in Chicago, he created work for notable clients like Pepsi and Motorola–his logo created for the latter remaining in use today. Working as an independent artist, he contributed the collection of mosaics of the founders of DuSable Museum of African American History in Chicago, Illinois. In his 70+ year career, Miller produced over 1000 works of art, including internationally recognized corporate branding, illustrations for books, lithographs, drawings, sculptures, and more.

This week’s theme is INVENTORS:

Dr. Charles Drew was an American surgeon and medical researcher. He researched in the field of blood transfusions, developing improved techniques for blood storage, and applied his expert knowledge to developing large-scale blood banks early in World War II. This allowed medics to save thousands of Allied forces' lives during the war. As the most prominent African American in the field, Drew protested against the practice of racial segregation in the donation of blood, as it lacked scientific foundation, and resigned his position with the American Red Cross, which maintained the policy until 1950.

Alice H. Parker was a Black inventor in the early 20th-century, best known for patenting a central heating system that uses natural gas. Her invention played a key role in the development of the heating systems we have in our homes today. She was born in 1895 in Morristown, New Jersey, and later attended classes at Howard University in Washington, D.C. To receive a higher education as a Black woman at the time was an achievement in itself. Parker’s legacy endures with the annual Alice H. Parker Women Leaders in Innovation Awards via the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce. The award recognizes the contributions of women to innovation in New Jersey, Parker’s home state.
