PRESIDENT'S LETTER

My Brothers Beloved:

J

n his poignant yet prophetic address to the Men of Alpha Phi Alpha, Brother Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. so humbly implored our God to give us leaders: "This is a tense period

through which we are passing, and there is a growing need all over this nation of ours for leaders to carry on. We need leaders who are not in love with money, but in love with justice. We need leaders who are not in love with publicity, but in love with humanity... God, give us leaders... *

ÂŁ->

When I first assumed office as General President of Alpha, I articulated a vision that was simple but obtainable: "Alpha Attitude: A Forward Step...Into the Future"! As a part of our vision and programmatic thrust, we will work to allow the Brothers of Alpha to boldly go where no fraternity has gone before! To that end, I will work to foster a spirit of camaraderie and respect between College and Alumni Brothers. There is but one Alpha Phi Alpha! Together, we stand. Divided, we fall. Additionally, we will work to encourage career development and training that will equip and prepare the Brothers of Alpha to compete and win in an expanding global marketplace. With the assistance of our Fraternity's new Corporate Partner, Careerfair.com and our new professional development website, www.apa-careers.com, we will help to employ and advance the Brothers of Alpha to "more than meet expectations".

My Brothers, we must also be committed to rebuilding the ranks of our active membership by reclaiming our inactive Brothers. As General President of Alpha, I call on every active member of this great organization to join with me in lifting this Fraternity and investing in our future. Let's bring our Brothers back home! As a part of our aggressive Reclamation Initiative, we will initiate the "Arrive with Five" Program, where each active Brother will work to reclaim five (5) Inactive Brothers, each Fraternal Year, who have, over die course of time, left the fold. We will also offer all Chapters in Alpha Phi Alpha significant savings and financial incentives for reclaiming an inactive Brother. Additionally, with the institution of the new Value Added Services Guide, our membership benefits program and the Charles Henry Chapman Reclamation Award, our goal of reclaiming 1,000 inactive Brothers in the year 2001, is just beyond the horizon. If we work together as a collective Brotherhood, the 21 s t century shall be for us "the age of wisdom and season of light", a friend to Alpha Phi Alpha!

Finally, my Brothers, with the establishment of the Fraternity's new National Political Action Committee, headed by The Honorable Brother Mayor Marc H. Morial of New Orleans, Louisiana and our new Economic Development Foundation, led by Alpha Brother and Entrepreneur, Brother Dr. William Pickard, CEO of the Vitech Corporation, our Fraternity will be prepared, once again, to take "forward steps...into the future" Furthermore, with the erection of the Washington, D.C. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial, Alpha Phi Alpha will be poised to take its rightful seat at the table of preeminence and power in America.

Our 29 m General President, Brother Milton Carver Davis, Esq., so often proclaimed: "Alpha Phi Alpha's

r \

place has always been in the arena, providing leadership and service; so that our families and our friends and we as individuals shall know the triumph of high achievement. And if we should fail on our journey, on occasion, our place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory, nor defeat". Let us continue to "march onward and upward towards the light"... through leadership by example!

Let us keep the "Alpha Attitude"!

With all best wishes, I remain, Fraternally,

Harry E. Johnson, Sr., Esq. General President

EDITOR'S LETT

J

t is with Brother Harry E. Johnson Sr.'s motto, "Alpha Attitude", that I greet the Brothers of the world's premier Fraternity! This latest edition of The Sphinx R Magazine is the first of the tenure of our 31 s t General President. Brother Johnson brings with him an ultraimpressive professional and fraternal resume that exemplifies his slogan. I know the entire fold joins me in wishing our new General President the best in taking over the reigns from our Immediate General President Brother Adrian L. Wallace.

Brothers and guests present in Houston, Texas received a sneak preview of the Alpha Attitude during the inauguration ceremonies for the General President. A first classweekend of programs, activities and festivities showed all in attendance the true meaning of Southern Hospitality.

This edition highlights the happenings in Houston, including President Johnson's Inaugural Address. It also offers an introduction to Brother Westley Moore, a Rhodes Scholar recipient and a neophyte member of Delta Lambda Chapter. Our National Historian, Brother Dr. Robert Harris, Jr., gives the reader a provocative look at renown author Eric Michael Dyson's

Book; / Might Not Get There With You: The True Martin Luther King, Jr. Now as we move toward the end the Fraternal Year into the General Convention season, it is time for us as a Brotherhood to roll up our sleeves, and continue to plan, execute and implement the workings of Alpha Phi Alpha. At this point in time, the Fraternity readies itself to reach out to the communities, schools and others who continuously ask for our assistance. However, we must continue to improve and reinvent ourselves from the inside out before we move onto serve the masses.

It is in this spirit that I ask for support from our Brotherhood with our Fraternal organ. While I believe The Sphinx速 is the pre-eminent organ of its kind, it can always be better. During my brief tenure as Editor-in-Chief, I have received both kudos and constructive criticism on The Sphinx?1, both, which are welcome. Because of the intellectual prowess of our Fraternity, it is only our Brothers who can help lift the quality of this publication.

While many of Brothers presently donate their time to continuously feed stories and features to the Corporate Office, this Ust could stand some growth. To those who offer constructive criticism (or kudos), please feel free to have a seat at your computer or typewriter, and allow your creative minds to produce fresh and new stories for our magazine. After all, The Sphinx速 belongs to each and every one of us. If there is an article you would like to see and you've always wanted to see your work in print, now is your time to shine!

LEADERSHIP

CHAPTER

ACADEMY

By Brother Ralph Johnson, Ph.D.

he third Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. College Chapter Leadership Academy, sponsored by the Alpha University/Education Foundation, was held June 10-16, 2000 in Baltimore, Maryland. The program, hosted by Johns Hopkins University, was another tremendous success!

Fourteen Brothers enrolled in the third (Gamma) class of the academy. They were:

T

Abdul-Kaba Abdullah, Rho Theta Chapter - Northwest Missouri State University; Kerry Baynes, Nu Iota Chapter - Rowan State University; Glenn Brooks, Mu Mu Chapter - Elmhurst College; Nathan Deal, Mu Chi Chapter -California State University, Long Beach; Paul Easterling, Beta Beta Chapter- University of Nebraska, Omaha; Brian Edwards, II, Pi Kappa Chapter -California State University, Northridge; Leonard Green, Tr., Rho Alpha Chapter - SUNT Brockport; Shawn Henderson, Epsilon Epsilon Chapter - Oklahoma State University; Eugene Johnson, Gamma Rho Chapter - Purdue University; Anthony Luckett, Theta Zeta Chapter - Dartmouth College; Gerald Lumpkin, Kappa Upsilon Chapter - Edward Waters College; Marc Richardson, Alpha Psi Chapter - Lincoln University (MO); Micah Smith, Alpha Sigma Chapter- Wiley College; and Mataryun Wright, Beta Iota Chapter -Winston-Salem State University.

As in past years, the 2000 Academy was based on student development theory. As such, participants were immersed in a five-day, intense milieu in which they were challenged to explore the philosophical and pragmatic aspects of the Alpha experience.

Participants experienced growth and development in all dimensions of their lives.

The text for the academy was Principle-Centered Leadership by Stephen R. Covey, who is also author of the highly acclaimed book, "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People". This book provided a great theoretical and practical framework to discuss the many issues associated with the characteristics of a good leader.

GOALS The goals of this academy were twofold. First, the academy was designed as an intensive leadership training session for College Brothers who hold positions in their Chapters, Districts and Regions. The academy focused on leadership/student development theory as well as provided experiential learning opportunities. This was augmented with instruction on the workings and organization of the Fraternity, so that these leaders could better understand the corporate structure of the organization. The second

LEADERSHIP ACADEMY 2000 aspect was to provide training that Brothers may use as Alumni members in their local Chapters, and in their professional lives. The academy included sessions designed to enhance their knowledge and skill in managerial as well as organizational leadership.

The group participated in team building activities designed to build trust and a sense of community. Once the team building activities were completed, the participants experienced two types of sessions. The first type was Fraternity specific and included a visit to the Corporate Office, and sessions on Fraternity structure, policy and philosophy, Fraternity operations and management and membership intake, all of which was conducted by the Corporate Office staff.

The second session included broader leadership development exercises, most centered on experiential activities rather than lectures. These areas included effective Chapter operations, parUamentary procedures, goal setting, visioning and service learning. Between the activities and during the opening and closing programs, the participants met Fraternity leaders to learn what leadership is from a practical perspective. The participants also visited Capitol Hill in Washington and had an opportunity to meet and dialogue with The Honorable Brother Gregory Meeks, U. S. House of Representatives - New York, as well as with several staff members who work on "The Hill". Brother Leon Buck, Minority Counsel to the Subcommittee on Immigration and Claims, coordinated this session.

ACADEMY FACULTY Several Brothers trained and credentialed in student development and who work with a college population on a daily basis volunteered as academy faculty. Additionally, Alumni Brothers from other professional areas conducted educational sessions.

Without their willingness to volunteer their time and absorb a portion of the expenses, this academy could not have been possible.

They include:

Brother Dr. Walter Kimbrough, Academy Assistant Director Vice President for Student Affairs Albany State University Albany, GA Brother Phillip L. Jackson Chief Learning Officer, Alpha University Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Brother Robert Bedford Director of Multicultural Student Affairs Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis, IN Brother Renardo Hall Director of Housing and Residence Life Bowie State University Bowie, MD

The Reverend Brother Dr. William Calhoun Pastor Trinity Baptist Church Baltimore, MD Brother Dr. Ryle Bell Professor of Dentistry Howard University Washington, DC Brother Dr. E. Michael Sutton Assistant Professor of Higher Education Appalachian State University Boone, NC Several additional individuals helped with the academy by judging the academy case study competition. They included Brother James Hightower, Admissions Counselor, Johns Hopkins University and Brother Roland Bullard of South Carolina.

NAFEO

| r o t h e r Henry Ponder, Ph.D., President & CEO of the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO) will retire in June of 2001.

Brother Ponder, a nationally noted economist, has a long and distinguished career in higher education, which he has blended with the American corporate structure. Brother Ponder has served as a consultant for, and on special assignments to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Philadelphia National Bank, Chase Manhattan Bank, the Irving Trust Company and Omaha National Bank. He also served for six years on the Board of Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, Virginia (Charlotte Branch), the last two years as Chairman of that Board, and served on the Board of Directors of theJ.P. Stevens & Co., Inc. and SunTrust Bank of Nashville, Tennessee. He currently serves on the Board of the SCANA Corporation, Columbia, South Carolina. Brother Ponder formally served as Senior Partner for the Board of Tennessee Economic Partnership.

Brother Ponders activities, civic, social and educational, have set a criterion for American leadership in the 21st century. His leadership has also been apparent when he served as Past Chairman of the Board of Director of the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education

ALPHA'S ON THE MOVE A 1963 initiate of the Alpha Upsilon Chapter (seated at Wayne State University in Detroit Michigan) while a student at Western Michigan University, Brother Pickard earned a Bachelors Degree in Social Work from Western Michigan as well as a Masters of Social Work from the University of Michigan. While beginning his first foray into business in the early 1970's, he earned a Doctorate in Higher Education and Administration at The Ohio State University.

While at Ohio State, it was with the help of fellow Brother John Hall that Brother Pickard was able to buy his first McDonald's franchise on March 8, 1971. He fondly remembered his early days of running several franchises of the world's most prolific fast food chain.

"From 1971 through 1976, I was a professor at Wayne State University while running my stores", said Brother Pickard, who along with the late Brother Ray Snowden and Omega Psi Phi member Mel Garrett, purchased six McDonalds between the three of them. "I would go to school in the morning, rush back out, work at the McDonalds during lunch and then go back to teaching classes. Then I'd work on Friday nights and Saturday's". By 1976, Brother Pickard left Wayne State and began to own and operate seven McDonald's franchises by himself. In 1985, he chose a different path, deciding to enter the Auto Parts Industry as CEO of Regal Plastics. With plants throughout the state of Michigan, Brother Pickard witnessed his business grow into his native South. As Regal Plastics evolved into Global Automotive Alliance, so did Brother Pickard's territory. In addition to Michigan, his stores dot the North American continent in locations such as Oklahoma City and Ada, Oklahoma; Tuscaloosa, Alabama; South Carolina, Tennessee, Windsor, Canada and his native Georgia.

His faith in God and love for his Fraternity have led Brother Pickard to share his knowledge and acumen to both his church and the Fraternity. A trustee at Harford Memorial Baptist Church in Detroit, he now assists his church in its own Economic Development program. The Church purchased land

(NAFEO) and chairman of the Members of the United Negro College Fund.

A Farewell/Appreciation Celebration River Cruise in honor of Brother Dr. Henry Ponder will be held on Saturday, June 30, 2001 in Washington, D.C. BROTHER WAYMAN SMITH TO RETIRE FROM ANHEUSER-BUSCH

"W^rother Wayman F. Smith will retire as Vice President of r ÂŁ Corporate Affairs for the Anheuser-Busch Companies, -M^J Inc. He will be succeeded by Johnny Furr, Jr. Smith will work with Furr in transitioning into the job through June, 2001. He will then return to his law practice and become a consultant to the company.

Brother Smith, 60, joined Anheuser-Busch in 1980, as the first member of the Corporate Affairs Department. The Corporate Affairs Division is responsible for the company's outreach to the African-American community. Part of Brother Smith's duties included overseeing efforts by Anheuser-Busch to increase purchasing from minority-owned businesses. Brother Smith started the "Partners in Economic Progress" program in 1981. Today, through that program Anheuser-Busch annually purchases more than $300 million worth of goods and services from minority-owned firms. Brother Smith also spearheaded the company's involvement with the United Negro College Fund (now known as The College Fund). In 17 years, Anheuser-Busch raised more than $60 million for UNCF. In 1999, Brother Smith led the company's efforts in establishing "Budweiser Jammin' For Education", a program which provides college scholarships for AfricanAmerican students.

PROSPERITY IS BROTHER PICKARD'S BUSINESS

^"^ocial Work is one of the last collegiate majors thought of ^ ^ when aspiring to make a huge splash in the world of KJ business. However, in the case of Brother Dr. William Pickard, a desire to promote businesses within the AfricanAmerican community and a love his community has elevated the affable CEO to a stellar career. Brother Pickard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Global Automotive Alliance, is clearly blazing a path in the world of business, as sales of his company reached $240 million for the year 2000. His business expertise has also led him to be selected by Detroit Mayor Brother Dennis Archer as a co-lead partner in the city's MGM Casinos franchises.

THE SPHINXÂŽ SPRING 2001

ALPHA'S ON THE MOVE in which a McDonalds, a Super K-Mart, and a KFC Franchise are in the works, creating jobs and income for members of the church.

"We want to touch Brothers (of the Fraternity) and others to let them know that (owning a restaurant franchise) isn't rocket science", said Brother Pickard. "We want to draw in Brothers who have the desire to go into business or Brothers who are in business willing to help or serve on the committee. We'll push franchising as a way for families to go because there is less risk. (With fast-food restaurants) you have a business format that is tried and tested. It's like painting by the numbers".

General President Harry E. Johnson, Sr. tapped Brother Pickard as Chair of the Fraternity's Economic Development Foundation, making first contact with each other during the Fraternity's 1998 Economic and Development Forum in Nassau, The Bahamas.

"I was invited down there to receive the John H. Johnson (Entrepreneurial) Award in 98', and I'm walking around there and I somehow linked up with Brother Johnson and we started talking", said Brother Pickard. "He told me he was running for General President, and I told him immediately, 'if you win, I want to be on your team'. His vision for his Alpha Attitude campaign is right on time".

ONE UNIQUE COLLEGE BROTHER

M fter being inactive for almost a decade, the Brothers JLM of Kappa Rho return with the initiation of Brother JL. -AjJnique Wilson. Brother Wilson, a native of Roosevelt, Long Island, is a vigilant Brother who has learned to overcome the plethora of adversities in his life. Unique, raised in a hotbed of poverty and social inequities, was raised by his mother when his father abandoned his family when he was born. His mother was left to carry the burden until it became overwhelming and she eventually succumbed to a life of crime and substance abuse. That did not stop Brother Wilson, who managed to prevail despite the harsh circumstance in which life had dealt him. Subsequendy at the mere age of 18, he petitioned Family Court, and was awarded full custody of his younger siblings. Brother Wilson is now a junior at C.W. Post and is involved with student government, Newman Club and a Eucharistic minister on campus. Additionally, he also is a residential assistant for campus housing and residential life.

Brother Wilson has maintained a reputable grade point average of 3.75 while managing to coordinate his family life, job and extracurricular activities.

As we drove off in different directions, I couldn't help but notice the inordinate police presence, so early in the morning, of men in blue with black billy clubs, doing their part to protect and serve the citizens of Palm Beach County. Little did I know, however, there would be widespread reports, all throughout the State of Florida, of intimidation and harassment by law enforcement officials, on people of color, who turned out in droves to elect their next president. "Taxation without representation is tyranny," right? (Sure, and I've got some beachfront property in Idaho I want to sell you).

Ignoring the mental roadblocks that the authorities had already constructed, we proceeded to our assigned stations to "forget about the Gipper" and win one for ourselves.

Our efforts, however, were in vain that day, as the tricks unfolded and the treats were few in this "Battle for the White House." This time we would be outnumbered. Almost certainly outgunned. Our adversaries would not be compassionate, but they would definitely be conservative and they were "fending" for another hit of power. ("Absolute power corrupts absolutely!") Four ticks. Three tocks. Two minutes to six.

(Right here... in Palm Beach County!")

The culprits: hanging chads, the butterfly ballot, a Secretary of State who "plays by the rules," and a United States Supreme Court that placed politics over people in their quest to crown their king. "The more things change, the more they remain the same." (Our election system wasn't broken... It was fixed the entire time). Too bad I found out about it at one minute to six!

TRAGEDY IN ARKANSAS ALPHA P H I ALPHA COLLEGE BROTHERS I N TRAGIC HIGHWAY ACCIDENT Little Rock, AR

T

hree College Brothers from the Theta Psi Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. (University of Central Arkansas) were killed and 11 others injured on Saturday morning, May 12,2001, when the van they were driving in overturned and flipped five times on Interstate 40, Arkansas State Pohce said. Brother Brandon D. Davis, 20, of Little Rock, AR and Brother Gavin Morgan, 20, of Malvern, AR died in the accident about 4:20 a.m. near Palestine, Arkansas.Brother Dorsey Watson of Conway, AR, 19, died one week later from massive internal injuries sustained during the fatal crash. All 14 people in the vehicle ~ including three students from Hendrix College, were members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and were returning to Conway, AR from Memphis, TN. Brother Adrian Torrance Smith, 21, of Rison, AR was driving the van when it crashed, throwing several of the Brothers onto the highway, pohce said. The injured were taken to hospitals in Forrest City and Memphis, pohce said. They included: Brother Brian Brewer, 22, of North Little Rock; Brother Christopher Gordon, 19, of Conway; Brother Jason Mathis, 21, of Little Rock; Brother Nkem Housworth, 21, of Conway; Brother Marcus Hughes, 19, of Conway; Brother Mitchell Moore, 20, of Little Rock; Brother Jeremy Owoh, 22, of Conway; Brother Demetrius Richmond, 23, of Conway; Brother Deon Rhodes, 21, of Conway; and Brother Charles Robinson, 21, of Conway.

In a letter to the Brothers of the Theta Psi Chapter and their families and friends, General President Harry E. Johnson, extended official condolences on behalf of the Fraternity's international membership. "As General President of our beloved organization, my most sacred and solemn duty is the transference to Omega Chapter of our Brothers in Alpha, who have laid down for good their 'sword and shield' and have gone on to be with the Lord", he said.

"Furthermore", he continued, "this task is made all the more difficult when the miracle of life is shortened, too soon, with the passing of our dear College Brothers".

According to the pohce and other eyewitnesses, the van the Brothers were travehng in was headed westbound on 1-40 when it drifted into the median, travehng along the median for 440 feet and then veered back onto the highway in the westbound lane for another 194 feet. The van then left the highway again on the north side, overturning five times.

A moment of silence will be observed during the Fraternity's 95th Anniversary Convention. Additionally, General President Johnson is asking all Alpha Chapters to contribute to a Fraternity sponsored Memorial fund to help benefit the survivors of this tragic accident and the families of the deceased, by bringing a suggested $500 donation to the General Convention this summer in New Orleans, LA in honor of our fallen and injured Brothers. Please make all checks payable to Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and reference the Theta Psi Chapter Memorial Fund in the memo section.

Scandalize My Name The Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

By Brother Robert L. Harris, Jr.

black children are being raised in single-parent households. These are definitely issues that need to be addressed to provide some hope for black youth mired in poverty, poor schools and broken homes.

Unfortunately, Dyson's answer is more disparaging than uplifting and might serve to make alienated black youth more cynical, while playing into the very hands of those abstracters whom he challenges over the meaning of Dr. King's legacy.

Dyson identifies three mistakes that he believes have been * made about Brother King's legacy.

First, he maintains that Dr. King's ideas have been modified to be less threatening and ignore the radical critique of his last year.

We have been given Dr. King the pacifist, not Dr. King the crusader for economic justice. Secondly, his identity has been distorted in a way that makes him irrelevant to today's youth.

Finally, his image has been controlled in a manner that removes him from the ongoing struggle for freedom, justice and equality.

White conservatives have sought to portray Dr. King as "color-blind" in their attack on affirmative action. They have turned important concepts such as "racial justice" and "equal

T i y^"ichael Eric Dyson in f \ / a his provocative book, JLwJL I May Not Get There With You: The True Martin Luther King, Jr. (New York: The Free Press, 2000), rightly argues that Brother King's legacy is bitterly contested as various forces in American society seek to define Brother King for their own purposes. Dyson unabashedly falls into the same category. He is concerned foremost with alienated poor black youth who are adrift in despair and who consider Dr. King an unreal figure, irrelevant to their lives. Rather than seek to elevate them to a high moral standard that certainly Dr. King and all mortals have difficulty achieving, Dyson pulls Dr. King down to their level and suggests that they have much in common. By identifying his weaknesses with morally flawed black youth, Dyson believes that Dr. King will become their spiritual father and an inspiration for them to emulate his strengths.

We might all agree that there are problems with some of our youth that display some of the worst characteristics in their music that is often materialistic, violent, misogynistic and vulgar. Moreover, a disproportionate segment of young black males are caught in the criminal justice system, almost as many as those attending college. And more than two-thirds of poor

opportunity" inside out and have made affirmative action into "reverse racism" and "goals" into "quotas". Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" speech has been misappropriated to distort his legacy. Dyson recognizes that a phrase from the speech has been distorted more than the speech itself. But he still makes the bold proposal for a 10-year moratorium on the "I Have A Dream" speech to bring greater attention to Dr. King's other speeches and writings.

Many people have made Dr. King and the "I Have A Dream" speech synonymous without paying attention to the earlier part of the speech. They would rather concentrate on Dr. King's vision for the future than his indictment of America for issuing African-Americans a bad check. In poetic language that was his hallmark, Dr. King stated that when AfricanAmericans entered the bank of justice, their check was returned marked insufficient funds. He affirmed that AfricanAmericans were determined to collect on the promise of justice for all Americans, to collect now, not later, and if necessary to "shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges".

self-loathing and self-doubt was close to the ideas of the black nationalists. Dr. King was buffeted and battered on all sides during his hfetime, and Dyson continues the attack after his death.

Dyson justifies his examination of Dr. King's private life in arguing "By refusing to engage his weaknesses, we fail to learn about the true nature of King's achievements since we deny ourselves complete knowledge of what he was up against". He suggests, "By acknowledging his warts, we might better understand his greatness". Dyson contends that Dr. King was a plagiarist and a philanderer. He speaks of his "prodigious sins of the flesh" and "prolific infidelities" with little direct evidence but an assumption that there is "...a subculture of promiscuity that is rampant among clergy and religious figures in every faith". It has been documented that Dr. King did not properly cite sources in his dissertation and that this was a pattern found in his undergraduate and seminary papers.

Moreover, scholars have discovered that Dr. King borrowed sentences and paragraphs without attribution from other preachers for his published sermons. Preachers like musicians, however, are known to incorporate in their repertoire the best of what they hear from others. "...when African-Americans entered the Dyson acknowledges that verbal borrowing is part bank ofjustice, their check was returned of cultural practice in the black church. But, he is on thin ice when he suggests that Dr. King lifted the maj'ked insufficient funds". phrase "I Have A Dream" from the preacher Prathia Hall and the "let freedom ring" portion of the speech from Alpha Brother Archibald J. Carey. The evidence Dyson argues that white liberals have also distorted is indirect in the similarity of expression.

Dr. King once thought that racism could be destroyed The most troubling part of Dyson's book is his effort to by appeal to conscience but later concluded that most white demonstrate a similarity between Dr. King and many contemAmericans were unconscious racists, that racism was porary black youth.

The removal of racism mon in their attitudes toward women, ideas about sex, borrequired not just a change of conscience but also a restructurrowing or sampling the work of others and preference for ing of American society to uproot poverty and economic light-complexioned women.

ntellectual distinction is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for election to a Rhodes Scholarship. Of the 950 applicants representing 327 colleges and universities across the nation, only 32 are chosen. In 2001 one of those individuals includes Alpha Brother Westley Moore.

A recent graduate in International Relations and Economics at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, Brother Moore was recently selected as a recipient of the Rhodes Scholarships, the oldest and one of the most prestigious of the international study awards available to American students. He will leave for Oxford University in England in September of 2001.

The Bronx, New York native originally learned about the Rhodes Scholarship while doing an internship in the Baltimore Mayor's office. "You hear people comment about an intelligent individual saying, 'he's no Rhodes Scholar' and not think twice about the saying", said Brother Moore.

The 22 year-old expressed some surprise upon receiving the announcement. "I just thanked God. Growing up, you never think of the Rhodes Scholarship as being a tangible thing. But once you're into the process and see what goes on, you can't help but get excited. I think this makes the scholarship tangible to different kinds of people, especially our (African-American) brothers and sisters". Brother Moore added. "We have so many talented brothers and sisters out there who are eligible but they just don't apply. We need to get them to be exposed to this. There is just so much "scholarship" money out there".

A fall 2000 initiate of Delta Lambda Chapter in Baltimore, Brother Moore said there were many factors that led him to become a member of Alpha.

"My uncle is in the Fraternity, and he always talked about the Fraternal bond", said Brother Moore, who finished his academic career last fall with a 3.9 grade point average". I saw the Brothers on the (Johns Hopkins University) yard like (Brother) Anwar Young and Dr. Ralph Johnson, and saw the many good things they do for the campus. Then when you look

at the history and the famous Brothers we've had (through the years) it made my decision even that much easier".

Brother Moore contributes his knowledge, determination and resources to the youth in Baltimore County, Maryland.

A founding member of an organization called Students Taking A New Direction (S.T.A.N.D); Brother Moore does practice what he preaches. The members of S.TA.N.D. attend training at a local Detention Center and learn how report abuse. Its members teach and assist young African-American juvenile offenders by pairing them with college mentors and the necessary skills to excel academically, socially and economically. He also served as chairman of the Men of the NAACP at Johns Hopkins and worked along with 30 undergraduates who interview prospective freshmen as an admissions representative. This past fall, he utilized his 6-foot-3 inch, 210-pound frame on the gridiron, catching eight passes and scoring two touchdowns as a split end on the Blue Jays varsity football team, which competes at the NCAA Division III level.

Prior to attending John Hopkins University, Brother Moore earned an Associates Degree in Valley Forge Military College. While at Valley Forge, he was a Lieutenant in the United States Army Reserves, a varsity basketball player, actor and gospel choir singer, a member of the Phi Theta Kappa honors fraternity and a nominee for the USA Today Academic AilAmerican Team during his sophomore year. He has done research in Cuba, Korea, South Africa and Spain on the social changes brought forth by music.

As a recipient of the Rhodes Scholarship, he will be provided two to three years of study at Oxford. Brother Moore plans to do his Masters in Philosophy in International Relations at Oxford for the first two years and is considering pursuit of a Master in Theology his third year. Rhodes Scholars are appointed for two years of study, with the possibility of renewal for a third year. All educational costs, such as matriculation, tuition, laboratory and certain other fees, are paid on the Scholar's behalf by the Rhodes Trustees.

Each Scholar receives in addition a maintenance allowance adequate to meet necessary expenses for term-time and vacations. The Rhodes Trustees cover the necessary costs of travel to and from Oxford, and upon application, may approve additional grants for research purposes or studyrelated travel. The Rhodes Scholarship elevated Brother Moore among the ranks of past recipients such as former United States President Bill Clinton, former National Basketball Association great and New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley and Strobe Talbott, Deputy Secretary of State. Upon his return to America, Brother Moore plans to attend Law School or acquire a Masters of Business Administration and pursue a career in International/Foreign Policy.

It is the position of this writer that all 10 men who remained as members of Alpha Chapter after December 4,1906 were founders of Alpha Phi Alpha.

In his biography of Jewel Henry Arthur Callis, Charles H. Wesley writes, "Those men who absented themselves (before and after) when the decision was made for the group to become a fraternity...should not be forgotten whenever Alpha Phi Alpha thinks of its origin and the foundation of its beginnings. The same position may be taken toward the men who came in during and after the first initiation. Among these were Brothers James H. Morton, Gordon Jones and Lemuel Graves (Henry Arthur Callis, 30-31)".

It is precisely because these three brothers are seldom mentioned during our celebrations of Founders' Day that this essay is being written. It will discuss their activities in detail during 19061907 and the later years wherever possible.

Brother James H. Morton came to Cornell University from West Virginia. He has been called both one of "the original seven" and one of the first initiates. It is clear, however, that he was never subjected to initiation. He was present at the first initiation banquet as attested to by the program which fists him as a speaker. His autograph is followed by that of "C. Henry Chapman". Oddly enough, the Registrar of Cornell University informed the Fraternity Historian that "(he) was not registered at Cornell University in 1905-1906 although he had frequent associations with the Social Study Club (332-333)".

Additionally, "According to the records, (although) he was not subjected to the initiation - his name seems to have been added to the fist permanendy on this occasion...he served as headwaiter at the Sage College Dining Room having white students under his supervision. Among other things, he advanced his personal funds at times in order to insure the permanence of the Fraternity (31)". This generosity may be one of the reasons that for nearly 50 years he was called Jewel Morton.

The following chronicles James H. Morton's activities in 1906-07 when he was enrolled at Cornell University: At the First Initiatory Banquet he offered a toast on "The Freshmen". He was appointed to the Topic

Committee of the Study Club on November 6, 1906 with Jewel Henry Arthur Callis and George Tompkins. Subsequently, he agreed to participate in a program of the Alpha Phi Alpha Society at the local Zion Church along with Messrs. Charles Chapman Poindexter, George Biddle Kelley, Lemuel E. Graves, Vertner Woodson Tandy and Henry Arthur Callis.

On December 4, 1906, he was present and "suggested that a fund be organized and sponsored by the group through which assistance could be given to needy colored students (24) B. In doing so he anticipated an ongoing thrust of the Fraternity. Immediately after the decision was made to become a fraternity, he was appointed to a committee on organization along with Brothers Chapman, Callis, E.K. Jones and Murray (25).

At the first meeting of the year on January 8, 1907, he was named to a committee of five "to prepare a constitution and a set of by laws" for the new organization, having made the motion to establish such a committee. (25,38, 508) At the meeting on February 19, 1907, he nominated Robert Ogle to be secretary "for the remainder of the collegiate year (509)". He was present at the final meeting of the 1906-07 academic year, seconding the motion for adjournment (510). Incidentally the minutes of those meetings were still referring to me group as the "society". Morton along with other members of Alpha Chapter in 1906-07 is shown in a photograph on page 26. Schedule B of the first Certificate of Incorporation, "Names and Addresses of Brethren in Alpha Phi Alpha", in 1908fistshim among the 15 members of the Fraternity. His address was Cornell University Medical College, New York City (537). He had apparendy moved there from Ithaca. (Was he a medical student or an employee as he had been in Ithaca or both?) This is the last reference to the vanished ex-Jewel who apparendy lost contact with the Fraternity and subsequendy was removed from the pantheon of Jewels. Of this our history states, "After that (first initiation) date Brother Morton fades entirely out of the Alpha historical picture and was not heard from in the after years (334)". Actually he did continue his association throughout me first year of the Fraternity's existence as this summary has revealed. His name does not appear in the minutes of October and November 1907.

Two who did continue their association were Eugene Kinckle Jones' "line brothers", Gordon H. Jones and Lemuel Graves.

Both were extremely active during the first and second years of the Fraternity's existence.

OUR FORGOTTEN FOUNDERS (Continued) Gordon Holmes Jones was approved for membership in the Alpha Phi Alpha Society at its meeting on October 23, 1906 (19). He was initiated at the Masonic Hall with Jewel Jones and Graves on October 30, 1906 (21). His autograph appears first on the Banquet program, the only one followed by the Greek letters "APA". He also is among the six Brothers shown in the photograph of the members of Alpha Chapter in 1907 (26). At the Second Initiatory Banquet he spoke on "Benefits" (33).

As a newly initiated member he served on the second Committee on Pins with Jewel Jones and Graves. He may actually have served as the committee chairman as the following excerpt from the minutes of May 7, 1907 suggests: "Brother Gordon Jones reported that he had received no reply from the catalogue firm with which he had been in correspondence". The meeting may actually have been held in his room since the minutes of the previous meeting on April 23, 1907 state: "The place of meeting next Tuesday will be held at (sic) Brother Gordon Jones". When the Chapter reconvened in the fall on October 5,1907, he was nominated but not elected secretary in a room he apparently shared with Jewel Brother Vertner Woodson Tandy.

Brother Jones actively supported the effort to incorporate the organization. His motion that each Brother be taxed $2.50 to cover the expenses of this effort was approved (513). When the trustees were nominated, he was among the nominees. However, he voluntarily withdrew in favor of Jewel Brother Henry Arthur Callis after Brother Calks had withdrawn in favor of alumnus Jewel Brother George Biddle Kelly because he regarded Calks as "better fitted to help shape the policy of Alpha Phi Alpha". This magnanimous act speaks to his dedication to the Fraternity.

A roster of the Alpha Chapter alumni fists his address as 8 West 132 Street, New York City (H.A.C. 55). Later he was among the signatories to a petition for the establishment of an Alumni Chapter in New York City dated November 19, 1912 (81) 4.

Lemuel Eugene Graves entered Cornell from Raleigh, North Carolina. He was proposed for membership by Brother Kelly after the adoption of the report of the Committee on New Members, which include only the names of James Morton, E.K. Jones and Gordon Jones. However the minutes of the October 23, 1906 meeting state: "Mr. Graves was unanimously selected (506)". One of the first three initiates on October 23, 1906, he agreed to give a selection at a "church entertainment" which the society had voted to participate in (507). He was then appointed to a committee of five to draw up a constitution and by-laws for the new organization in January 1907 (31, 508).

The minutes indicate that he was an active participant in Chapter meetings for the remainder of the academic year, making and seconding motions. For example, on January 15,1907 he moved that Robert Ogle become secretary, pro tern (508). On February 15, 1907, Brother Graves moved that an Easter week entertainment "be subject to and in the hands of the general student body (509)". He

IN A UGURAL EDITION

was involved in the search for a design of a Fraternity pin (508), served with Brother Callis on the first shingle committee, and with him again on another committee seeking a charter for the Fraternity (508, 35).

Brother Graves continued his active participation in Chapter matters during the next two years. At the Second Initiatory Banquet he spoke on the subject "What Does College Mean (33)"?

When the Fraternity was incorporated on January 29, 1908, he was selected as a member of the Board of Trustees (39) â&#x20AC;˘ Prior to that on January 25,1908, he and Brother Tandy were appointed "to draw up a regular form of initiation (35)". In 1909 Brother Graves served as secretary of the Chapter. During the same year Vice President Callis appointed him and Brother Roscoe C. Giles to set up Eta Chapter at Columbia University (H.A.C. 43).

Brother Graves continued his association with the Fraternity for at least the next decade. The roster of Alpha Chapter alumni in 1916 list his residence as "A&M College Tallahassee (Florida A&M University)" where Jewel Chapman was on the faculty.

His signature appears on the Initiatory Banquet program of Delta Lambda Chapter in Atlanta on July 15, 19195. Under the heading "Brothers" his name is listed first followed by the letter "d"-Atlanta Alpha (Chapter) Dentist (117)". This is the final reference to Brother Graves in our history.

The Fraternity owes these three Brothers a debt of gratitude. Although they are not accorded the status of Jewel, they were in point of fact among the Founders of Alpha Phi Alpha and deserve our homage whenever we pay tribute to those who established our Brotherhood.

PIRITUALLY SPEAKING BY: BROTHER. REVEREND THOMAS B. WATSON, III

New Orleans, Louisiana Spiritual Advisor to the General President Dear Brothers, j r want to take a moment of your time to talk about that unclear ^ a n d sometimes confusing thing called "humility". Back in JL January of this year I was invited to offer prayer at one of the General President's initial staff meetings at the Fraternity's Corporate Headquarters. While praying, God caused me to confront the issue of "arrogance" amongst the brotherhood nation-wide and of course to the twelve to thirteen brothers sitting around the table awaiting the staff meeting. Later on that day, a Brother who heard my prayer came up and congratulated me on a fine prayer but cautioned me to not bother God about arrogance amongst the Alphas because He probably would overlook that request. Therefore I thought it would be a good and Godly idea to bring to your attention the need to continue confronting the issue of arrogance amongst the brotherhood by discussing that confusing thing called humility.

We live in what some have called "the Culture of Narcissism." Muhammad Ali's signature line expressed the quest of the rest of us: "I am the greatest." Boxing promoter Don King was quoted in the Los Angeles Times as saying, "I never cease to amaze my own self' and then added, "I say that humbly." How would that come if he were to say it with pride?

In place of pride Jesus invites us to a life of humility! "All who humble themselves will be exalted." But we have become badly confused about humility. We know we ought to become humble, but we are not sure it is all that desirable. We're not even sure what a humble man is like.

What does it mean to"humble yourself' in everyday life? Humility is not about convincing others or ourselves that we are unattractive or incompetent. It is not about "beating ourselves up" or trying to make ourselves nothing. If God wanted to make us nothing, He could have done it. Humility has to do with submitted willingness. It involves a healthy self-forgetfulness. We will know we have begun to make progress in humility when we find that we get so enabled by the Holy Spirit to live in the moment that we cease to be preoccupied with ourselves, one way or the other. When we are with others, we are truly with them, not wondering how they can be of benefit to us.

T

he Information Age has many positive and negative aspects. One of the negative aspects is the improper use of social security numbers. To expeditiously and effectively address Brothers concerns, the General Organization has instituted a six-digit identification system. The identification number, also know as the "unique account number" is a permanent number assigned to a Brother upon initiation or reactivation. This number is used by the Corporate Headquarters staff to access individual records in lieu of using your social security number or life member number. When corresponding with the Corporate Headquarters please have your unique account number readily available. The number is located directly above your name on the Fraternity's official passcard as well as on all communications mailed to members from the General Organization. By using the unique account number you will assist the Corporate Headquarters staff in rendering fast and accurate customer service.

W y rom workshops to welcome receptions, the Inauguration of the 31st General President Brother Harry E. Johnson, r ^ Sr. Esq. raised the curtain on a new administration and a new era of leadership in Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. M Hosted from Friday, January 12 through Sunday January 14, 2001 in Houston, Texas, the Inauguration's theme, "Commitment, Excellence and Achievement. A New Generation of Leadership", reflected and continuously lifted up President Johnson's slogan "Alpha Attitude".

The General President's swearing in on Saturday's Inaugural Convocation Luncheon allowed Brother Johnson to thank the many men who helped him along his journey through Alphadom, his scholastic and professional career and his journey into responsible manhood. Among those mentioned included Brother Dr. Norman Francis of Xavier University of New Orleans, Louisiana as well as former General Presidents James Williams and Milton C. Davis. Among the political and Fraternal luminaries to bring salutations included Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Congressman Kent Benson and the Reverend Dr. Brother Joseph Samuel Ratliff. Luncheon attendees were given Plexiglas pyramids notating the afternoon's occasion. Filet Mignon and Grilled Shrimp headlined a sumptuous four-course meal. Past General Presidents Ozell Sutton and James Williams gave the remarks and the Occasion, respectively. Immediate Past General President Adrian Wallace introduced Brother Johnson to the hundreds of guests at the JW Marriott Hotel Grand Ballroom. Past General President Charles Teamer administered the Oath of Office.

Earlier on Saturday, the Inaugural Prayer Breakfast filled the souls of the hundreds of attendees. The Brentwood Baptist Church Men's Choir brought forth stirring gospel music, while Brother William H. Gray, the President of the United Negro College Fund rendered words from the theme, "It is Your Stance, Not Your Circumstance". Brother Gray's words were spiced with humor and candor along with the excerpts from the biblical story from the Book of Acts dealing with Paul and Silas' faith in the midst of dire straits.

The Brotherhood worked up an appetite for the Inaugural Luncheon by participating in the numerous "Alpha Attitude Enhancement" workshops available throughout Saturday morning. Economic Foundation Chairman Brother Dr. William Pickard hosted the Economic Development Foundation Workshop, one of General President Johnson's hallmark programs for the new millennium. Brother Pickard, a successful entrepreneur-businessman, providedfinancialtips and incentives for Brothers to own and build successful businesses. The Alpha Phi Alpha Town Hall meeting featured New Orleans Mayor Brother Marc Morial as the facilitator. The meeting broached a variety of topics affecting the African-American Community, including the status of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, appointees to the U.S. Presidential Cabinet and mentorship programs for young African-American males.

On Friday, the business of Alpha was attended to in the form of Board meetings and workshops. Alpha University offerings included "Leadership for the New Millennium and Beyond", which focused on identifying leadership skills and "Chapter and Officer Development with an Alpha Attitude", a workshop assisting in the clarification of roles of Chapter Officers and the skills needed for effective Chapter management. The General President's Welcome Reception at the elegant, spacious Wortham Center featured addresses from the Mayor of Houston, Brother Lee P. Brown. A host of leaders within a number of National Pan-Hellenic Council Organizations also gave remarks, along with the President of 100 Black Men Tommy Dortch.

Prior to the Inaugural Reception, Brother Johnson was honored with a reception at the Texas Southern University's Thurgood Marshall School of Law; where he received his Doctor of Jurisprudence. After the Inaugural Reception, the President was the guest of honor at an affair at the mansion of Brother Doctor Milton Moore. The gathering included a live band and plenty of delicious cuisine. Houston Federal Judge Vanessa Gilmore hosted the final reception of the night, which included best-selling author Brother E. Lynn Harris.

The classy yet down-home flavor of Thursday's Texas Barbecue was hosted at the stately Alpha Eta Lambda Chapter Fraternity House.

Brothers and their guests enjoyed loads of delicious barbecue prepared by the Brothers of Alpha Eta Lambda Chapter.

Brother Johnson became the Seventh General President of Alpha Phi Alpha from the Southwestern Region. Others included 17th General President A. Maceo Smith, 20th General President William H. Hale, 21st General President T. Winston Cole, Sr, 23rd General President Ernest N. Mortal, 27th General President Charles C. Teamer and Immediate Past General President Adrian L. Wallace. (Brother Hale originally came out of the Southwestern Region but did not reside in the Region while serving as General President).

I love her and I just want her to know that as the first lady of Alpha, we're going to move on with the Alpha Attitude and take Alpha to newer and greater heights.

I also want to thank my three children, Jennifer Johnson who always claims that I never say that I have a daughter. She also is a Xavier University student. Then there is Harry Johnson Jr. who I hope one day will become an Alpha man.

Then there is the great negotiator of the house, my son Nicholas, who can out talk anyone, and I know that he will become an Alpha man. My brother Van, there is only two of us; I love you, Godspeed to you.

Editor's Note: The following address was delivered by Brother Harry E. Johnson, Sr., Esq. on the occasion of his inauguration as 31st General President of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. The address was given at the Inaugural Convocation Luncheon, held at the JW Marriott Hotel in Houston, Texas.

But when I really think about it, I stand here today because of God's grace.

It's because of God's mercy; it's because of God's overwhelming love for me, because he knew me before I was formed in my mother's womb. Because he ordered my steps, I am humbled.

I was joking with Brother Davis that Sheila Jackson Lee was a stalwart in this community, that it is unusual to have four sitting members of congress in one sitting, at one time for this long and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

I want to thank the thousands of Alpha men, throughout this world for having the faith in elevating me in this position of which I now hold.

Only 30 other have ever had this distinct honor, I will be forever grateful and honored to have your support and pledge to you always to be the best that I can be and try to lead this Fraternity to higher and higher heights. I know, feel and believe that with us together, we can continue to ever hold high, the name and the purpose of which this Fraternity to was founded.

You have gathered here with us today, and you will bear witness to some of Alpha's best and brightest. Men who understand that Alpha's purpose and goals have not only to be first of all, but to be servants of all. Men who not only set the curve, but define the curve. Since its founding in 1906, Alpha Phi Alpha has been the cradle of American leadership. So when one asks who is going to lead us, the answer is just tell them that Alpha is coming. Whenever men of Alpha gathered in the past, they did not gather to see and meet the General President.

They came to meet and sit at the feet of this country's higher echelon of African-American leadership. They came to meet the icons of their day, and those who we now read about. Men who were par excellent. Men such as W.E.B. Dubois, men like Paul Robeson. Men like Adam Clavton Powell. Men like Martin

Under the banner of an Alpha Attitude, we will again take forward steps into the future, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, by estabUshing our corporate affairs committee. Our Brothers of the corporate world are with us today. Brothers like Wayman Smith Jr. of Anheuser Busch, Henry Brown of Anheuser Busch, Walter Davis, Vice-President of NationsBank, Tom Fluellen, Vice-President of Walt Disney. It is time for Alpha to place itself into the corporate boardrooms of America, and to ensure that when these Brothers leave, another Alpha man will take their place at that table. Tell them we are coming.

Alpha standards in higher education were established years ago by Alphamen. We headed many of the historically Black universities. And it is no secret that an Alphaman founded the United Negro College Fund and presendy an Alphaman is the current Chairman and CEO of that organization, Brother William Gray. Today under this administration, I pledge to you that we will continue to insist upon high standards of scholarship and achievement. The Dean of a Historically Black Universities is here with us, our own Brother Norman C. Francis, a Brother of Alpha that has headed Xavier University for more than 30 years and whose school has put more minorities and women in medical schools, than all the universities combined in these United States. Tell them we are coming.

Some of Alpha's finest sons are here with us today, men who make policy in their chosen professions. Men like Congressmen Bobby Scott, men like Marc Morial of New Orleans, men like Lee Brown of Houston, Texas. Again today, we will make history in Alpha Phi Alpha by establishing its first ever Political Action Committee.

Alpha's commitment to scholarship is unprecedented. And we will continue to promote scholarship and high achievement, for if we are going to continue to lead America, we must ensure that we continue to produce the best and the brightest, not the least and dumbest. Tell them we are coming.

In the past in many of our major cities, we had shopping districts that we could boast and brag, and that we had ownership of. We could go to those stores and get our own goods and services in the communities in which we lived. If you were in Houston, that shopping district was called Lyons Avenue, if you were in New Orleans it was called Drydes Street. If you were in St. Louis, it was Franklin Avenue. And if in fact you were in Detroit, it was Woodward Avenue. It is past time my friends, for the greatest fraternity in this world to take ownership of a business and start to provide jobs, training and true economic development in our urban communities. Tell them we are coming.

People to new heights. With an Alpha Attitude we will begin to seek out and encourage Alphamen and others to run and seek public office. Through this act Congresswoman Lee, we can begin to help fund and encourage Brothers of Alpha, but also others who seek higher office who have our interests at heart.

I am glad and proud that Brother Marc Morial pledged his support to be the Chairman of the Alpha Phi Alpha Political Action Committee. I thank you so much and I know that it is a needed entity in these days and times. Marc, tell them that we are coming.

I have charged Brother Bill Pickard and the newly-created Economic Development Foundation, to go forth and buy under the name of Alpha Phi Alpha, a business that can act as a catalyst in putting pride back into our communities a business that Alphamen can own to help spur economic growth. A business that can help train and develop young minds. Tell them we are coming.

Alpha's light will continue to shine into this new century, and for the entire world to see and to bear witness.

We together will walk as an undoubting body of men who understand our illustrious past, but yet keeping our eyes on the future. Alpha demands that we shall walk as men of high character, integrity and dignity.

Men who know and understand that as we prepare for the change of leadership in Washington, D.C., our nation's capital, we must take the lead and create a solid foundation to ensure that those who are going to follow us will have an "Alpha Attitude", and will be able to work up to the challenge of. "A Forward Step Into the Future, A New Generation of Leadership".

George Bush will take office as the leader of the free world.

Alpha must take the lead with our World Policy Council, headed by Ambassador Horace Dawson and Senator Edward Brooke. Tell them that Condelesa Rice might be the Advisor to the President on National Pohcy, but an Alpha man, her father, advised her. When it is time to think about a think tank, they need to look to Alpha Phi Alpha for the answer. Tell them not only are we coming, we are here. To protect an agenda that will ensure when we vote, our votes get counted. Tell them we are coming.

Alpha Brothers, the mantle of leadership has passed to a new generation. And I boldly accept the challenges that are ever before us over the next four years.

With the power vested in me that Alpha Phi Alpha shall answer the call and tell the world that yes, we are coming.

Brothers, I want you to join with me and go to the mountain top, spreading this Alpha Attitude so that when its all over, we can join in the words of the great Alpha man, "Walk together Brothers, don't get weary. Sing together Brothers, don't get weary. Work together Brothers, don't get weary". Let us take this Alpha Attitude further and higher. God bless you and may God continue to bless Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity.

Within a few short days my friends, several events will take place in this country. On Monday, we will begin to celebrate the birthday of our own beloved Fraternity Brother Dr. Martin Luther King.
