    I Love Mr. Williams curvilinear style. This is shown in a famous building he designed in Las Vegas, the “La Cocha”/ Neon museum.

    The late Huell Howser tried to save some of paul r Williams homes by doing a fundraising campaign and sad to say it failed but it brought more attention to his work

    As of 2016, the last year I worked at LAX, the Theme Building's observation deck was open to the public on the weekends until 3pm. I don't know if this is still the case.

    LAX should correct the placard. Put his name where it belongs.

    Paul Revere Williams should get murals rather than George Floyd. Williams is a role model, but Floyd is not.

      The problem is black people like Paul Revere William’s legacies are all but written out of history by the dominant white supremacist society. And no one is looking at George Floyd as a role model. Intelligent people see him as an obvious victim of a brutal murder. White people all over the world are making murals of George Floyd and many of them can’t even speak English. They don’t know anything about him other than that video.
