GET OUT THERE: So go have a great time on a Royal Caribbean cruise vacation.

3,000 of my friends and I did. We swam with the stingrays, went rock climbing (on the ship!), partied on the private destination of Labadee®, and more. Royal Caribbean can take you to Alaska, Europe, the Caribbean and around the globe. I wish I'd done it sooner. Don't you wait.

GENI

PRESIDENT'S LETT

"There is nothing wrong with saying we are impatient, for we know that our fight is a righteous one."

-Honorable Brother Thurgood Marshall (c. I960) My Brothers Beloved: t has often been said, "Justice delayed is justice denied." Throughout the course of our long and storied history, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. has stood at the forefront of civil rights and economic progress for the poor and dispossessed and has endeavored to lift them out of their circumstances to the dawn of a bright new day. To accomplish this goal, our centurions of equal rights and opportunity understood very clearly that the best way to achieve social change was through the blind system of American justice. Leading that charge in the courts of legal and public opinion was, of course, our late great Brother, the Honorable Thurgood Marshall. Initiated into the Fraternity through the gates of the Nu Chapter at Lincoln University in Lincoln, Pennsylvania, Brother Marshall went on to represent the best and brightest that Alpha Phi Alpha has to offer and it is in this vein that we honor him in this very special edition of The Sphinxi: Magazine.

In the fall of 1935, as the nation was deeply entrenched in a segregationist philosophy that espoused disparate treatment for America's people of color, The History of Alpha Phi Alpha teaches us that Brother Marshall, with the assistance of the famed legal scholar, Brother Charles Hamilton Houston, both employed as attorneys for the NAACP, challenged the discriminatory practices of the University of Maryland after it rejected an imminently qualified applicant to its School of Law, simply because of the color of his skin. The litigation, financed by the Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha, not only provided immediate relief and direct financial aid for one Mr. Donald Murray, who went on to graduate with honors from the University, it also paved the way for legions of deserving students all across the country who were entitled to an equal opportunity to reach for and achieve the American dream. With this victory in hand, coupled with a series of successful legal challenges to the infamous "Jim Crow" system, including the much heralded Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, Brother Marshall created an indehble mark upon American jurisprudence long before his appointment as Solicitor General and ultimately the first black Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court in 1967.

Today, as America and, indeed, the world, continues to long for that "voice crying out in the wilderness" for equal rights and justice for all men everywhere, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. takes this opportunity to remember a man and a Brother who paved the way for us all and helped to "make our pathways straight." As such, I encourage you to share the legacy of our beloved Brother Thurgood Marshall with your family and friends, so that we may keep his legacy alive before the recollection "slowly fades away."

With all best wishes, I remain, Fraternally yours,

I

My Brothers in Alpha:

D

uring the Regional Convention tour last year I promised the Brothers that as your General President I would only ask for $250.00 from each Alumni Brother for two years and $100.00 from each College Brother for two years. It is not my intent to make this a mandatory assessment, but to ask each Brother to contribute annually until his goal has been achieved. The

Martin Luther King Project Office has detailed records of every Brothers' contribution and will share this information during the Regional Convention tour. If you have already given an amount that equals or exceeds the monetary goal I have set for the Johnson

Administration, then I extend to you my Fraternal thanks and appreciation. If you have not met the goal, I humbly request that every effort be made to meet this goal as soon as possible.

It has often been said, "Greater love hath no man than one who lay down his life for a friend." As America and, indeed, the world comes together as one to honor the legacy of a man who made the ultimate sacrifice, the time has come for us, as Alpha Brothers and men of goodwill, to do our part to ensure that his legacy is secured for ourselves and our posterity, long after we are gone. As such, I am calling on you to contribute, once again, to our efforts to build the dream of a lasting monument to "a man, a movement and a message" that helped to change the course of history throughout the world.

Right now, we have an opportunity to make an enduring impact upon subsequent generations by giving to this Memorial. I am asking, again, for your personal annual contribution of $100.00 for two years from each College Brother and $250.00, or more, from each Alumni Brother for two years. Alpha Phi Alpha must lead the way in making this dream a reality. We have a moral, ethical and financial obligation to provide hope and inspiration to the "least of these," by letting our lives do the singing - just like our Jewels and our dear Brother King.

If you have not made your initial contribution to this effort, I urge you to do so today*. If you have already given to this cause, I ask you to show your true Alpha colors by giving to this cause once more. Now it's your turn to "hew out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope" in honor of Dr. King. Now it's your turn to help us build this Memorial!

Fraternally yours,

Harry E. Johnson, Sr. General President * Please make your tax-deductible donation payable to the MLK Memorial Project Foundation and mail to: The Washington D.C.

ducation has long been regarded as a valuable asset for all of America's youth. Yet, when this benefit was denied to specific groups, measures had to be taken to protect their educational rights.

Affirmative Action today, is considered to be one of the most controversial dilemmas facing our

equal status of individual rights. Implemented with the idea and hope that America would finally become truly equal, some say it was created with the intention of using reverse discrimination, to solve the problem of discrimination. In that, minority groups are said to "have been chosen" over the qualifications of others.

In 1995, Jorge Amselle stated during a subcommittee hearing (House Of Representatives Committee on Judiciary; Subcommittee on the constitution), that "treating people differently because of the color of their skin used to be called discrimination, but today it's called Affirmative Action." He went on to say "Racial discrimination is abhorrent when practiced by the private sector, but when it becomes the official practice of government it becomes more than just repugnant, it becomes dangerous." This is just one opinion from one individual on Affirmative Action.

Regardless of your opinion, credit is however due to Brother Thurgood Marshall for all his efforts and accomplishments made during a time when racial injustice was rampant. In his long service on the bench, Brother Marshall raised the Supreme Court from an anomalous position in the federal scheme, to power and majesty, and he molded the Constitution by the breadth and wisdom of his interpretation. He eminently deserves the appellation, the Great Chief Justice. He dominated the court equally by his personality and ability, and his achievements were made in spite of strong disagreements with Jefferson and later presidents. He made incontrovertible, the previously uncertain right of the Supreme Court to review federal and state laws and to pronounce final judgment on their constitutionality. Recognizing this, the United States Postal service has issued a stamp in his honor for Black History month, which is reflected in this issue of The Sphinx速.

In this edition of The Sphinx 速, we highlight the life of Brother Thurgood Marshall. Also we feature Brother William "Bill" Pickard as an Alpha On the Move, as well as Brother Charles H. Wesley and the development of our history book. As always, it is desired that individuals reflect on the progress made throughout centuries of others countless contributions and continue to appreciate the things in which so many of us have taken for granted. Brother Thurgood Marshall once said, "None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody - a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony or a few nuns - bent down and helped us pick up our boots." Brothers, lets make sure this year we help someone else with their "boots."

Fraternally,

William Douglass Lyle Editor-in-Chief

BROTHER DOTY GETS FOOT IN DOOR WITH NISSAN DEAL "When people mention the name, Charles Doty, it's a given that the reference will he respectful of his business achievements and philosophy."

-Mississippi Business Journal rother Charles Doty got the call, and he's heading for the big leagues. By partnering with Dearborn, Michigan based Visteon on a contract to build the front ends and cockpits for Nissan cars and trucks near Canton, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Lextron Corp. will get his name in the Rolodexes of automakers worldwide.

"It's a foot in the door anywhere in the auto industry," said Lindsay Chappel, Mid-South Editor of the trade publication Automotive News. "There are thousands of companies out there who sell to the suppliers who sell to the people who make the cars, but there are only a fraction of that number who sell directly to the carmakers."

BROTHER QUARLES WINS NATIONAL ENGINEERING AWARD rother Darrell Quarles of Rho Eta Lambda Chapter, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., received national recognition as "Black Engineer of the Year in U.S. Government" in the category of "Most Promising Engineer in Government". Brother Quarles was selected to receive this honor by the Black Engineer of the Year Selection Panel who's comprised of several major companies and the U.S. Government.

Lextron, is a small company. With about 180 people working for the company in its fiber-optic and automotive facilities, the Nissan deal will almost double the firm's size.

Lextron will be the majority shareholder in the newly formed Lextron/Visteon Automotive Systems, a company Brother Doty expects to cost about $100 million to start.

By Brother Robert L. Harris, Jr., Ph.D. Natinal Historian

mong the many honors and awards that he has received, Brother Dr. William F. Pickard was named one of twelve Michiganians of the Year for 2001. Each year since 1978, the Detroit News has recognized outstanding citizens as "Michiganians of the Year" for helping to make living in the state a richer experience by their good works and/or their example. Brother Pickard was honored for his "entrepreneurship, teaching and commitment to mentoring future leaders." He has enjoyed a stellar career and has traveled a long distance from LaGrange, Georgia, where he was bom on January 28, 1941. The street on which he was born was named after Horace King, a slave from South Carolina, who became a master bridge builder. King assisted his slaveowner, John Godwin, who granted him his freedom in 1846 because of King's invaluable work in designing and constructing covered bridges. After Godwin's death in 1849, King became an independent businessman and built covered bridges throughout the South, in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee. He also constructed homes, commercial buildings, a state hospital, a textile mill, and the wooden staircase that is one of the major features of the Alabama State Capitol.

King, who died in 1885, has been an inspiration to Brother Pickard. along with his parents, William and Victoria, who moved to Flint, Michigan in the 1950s.

A

Brother Pickard's family was always involved in some type of business, working for themselves.

He was determined to achieve a college degree and to have a business of his own. He aspired to become a college professor, to gain tenure, but also to have a business on the side. Brother Pickard began his higher educational journey at Mott Community College in Flint. He had not done well in high school until an English teacher told him that he had a great mind and that he should use it. After earning an Associate's Degree, he transferred to Western Michigan University, where he was a charter member of Epsilon Xi Chapter and received his Bachelor's degree in 1964.

Brother Pickard earned a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Michigan in 1965 and became Director of Employment and Education for the Urban League of Cleveland,

Ohio. Two years later, at age 26, he became Executive Director of the NAACP in Cleveland.

That was the same year that Cleveland elected the first black Mayor of a major city, Carl Stokes.

Cleveland experienced a costly riot that lasted for five days, and was the scene of several successful boycotts against large corporations, including McDonalds, in an effort to secure black ownership. Brother Pickard would later own a McDonalds' franchise in Detroit, after he received a Ph.D. degree from Ohio State University in 1971, with a dissertation on the academic achievement of black students, and become an Associate Professor at Wayne State University. He would subsequently own seven McDonald's restaurants. He was no longer able to teach full time but did continue his academic connection as a visiting lecturer at several schools including the University of Michigan, where he serves as Adjunct Professor and Co-Founder of the Urban Entrepreneurship and Economic Development Program.

Brother Pickard believes that financial success is crucial to community development. After a luncheon meeting with Henry Ford II in 1985, he devoted his considerable entrepreneurial acumen to supplying the automotive industry with the establishment of Regal Plastics Company in Roseville, Michigan. Regal Plastics produced interior trim and underhood components through the injection

to assist grassroots development projects to improve the lives of Africans. At home, Brother Pickard served as Co-Chair of the Michigan Neighborhood Partnership (MNP) in 1996. The MNP's mission was to assist community-based Detroit organizations to strengthen individuals, families, and communities through economic development. Brother Pickard holds firmly to the idea of economic development, through entrepreneurship, not just through majoring in business and working for someone else, as the chief means for improving the lives of African Americans. He believes that there is an opportunity to get on the economic train in the United States and to determine its direction as engineers rather than just to ride on it as passengers.

As Chair of the Economic Development Foundation, he is putting those principles into practice for Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. He maintains that the demographics of 100,000 college-educated black families make Alpha Phi Alpha a potent force. He would like to market the Fraternity to corporate America, to generate streams of income that will sustain Alpha Phi Alpha into the future and that will fund economic development for the Brotherhood and our National Programs. He sees the Church's Fried Chicken franchise deal as but the tip of the iceberg in potential for generating financial independence for the House of Alpha.

INC

By Brother Ralph Johnson, Ph.D., \cademy Director

he fifth annual College Chapter Leadership Academy was held June 8-14, 2002 at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. By all accounts, it was another success!

In the words of one participant, as stated on the evaluation form, "This has been the best event of my years of being an Alpha."

The Epsilon Class was comprised of the following Brothers: Kevin Allen, Omicron Omicron, University of the District of Columbia; Rasheed Balogun, Beta Eta, Southern Illinois University; Antoine Barnes, Delta .Alpha, Claflin University; Edward Bouldin, Epsilon Sigma, University of Texas, San Antonio; Rodney Bruce, Eta Sigma, San Diego State University; Zebulun Cope, Kappa Pi, College of Wilham and Mary; Dennis Davis, Sigma Theta, Southwest Missouri State University; Louis Dilbert, Iota Delta, Florida State University Ronnie Geter, Gamma Sigma, Delaware State University; Dwane Jones, Xi Psi, Hofstra University Michael Muchioki, Iota Rho, NJ Institute of Technology; Colin Mukubwa, Kappa Pi, College of William and Mary; Curtis Nelson, III, Alpha Pi, University of Louisville; Falawn Norwood, Pi Kappa, Cal State University, Northridge; Jamil O'Quinn, Alpha Epsilon, UC-Berkeley; Charles Stokes, Gamma Iota, Hampton University; Chris Watkins, Beta Chi, Philander Smith College; Roger Whitenhill, Iota Psi, UC-Irvine; Randall Woodfin, Alpha Rho, Morehouse College; Ricco Wright, Beta Kappa, Langston University; and Roberto Young, Kappa Eta, University of Memphis. They bonded quickly and even developed a class hailing sign and shout!

As in past year's, the 2002 Academy was based on student development theory. As such, participants were immersed in a five-day, intense learning environment 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 Servants of the People: The 1960s Legacy of African American Leadership by Dr. Lea Williams, Executive Director of the Women's Leadership Institute at Bennett College in Greensboro, North Carolina. This book provided a great theoretical and practical framework to discuss the many issues associated with the characteristics of a good leader.

T

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 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 these were conducted by the Coqiorate Office staff.

The second type of sessions were broader leadership development exercises, most centered around experiential activities rather than lectures.

These areas included effective Chapter operations, parliamentary procedures, goal-setting, understanding and enhancing leadership and communication styles, and service learning. The participants also visited Capitol Hill in Washington and had an opportunity to meet and dialogue with The Honorable Brother Robert Scott, U.S. House of Representatives-Virginia, as well as with several staff members who work on " The Hill." This session was coordinated by Brother Leon Buck, Minority Counsel to the Subcommittee on Immigration and Claims.

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

"Change is not made without inconvenience, even from worse to better." -Richard Hooker

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, Vice President for Student Affairs, Albany State University; Brother Robert Bedford, Assistant Vice President for Student Development, Indiana Wesleyan University; Brother Renardo Hall, Director of Housing and Residence Life, Bowie State University; Brother Leon Buck, House Judiciary Committee, Washington, DC; The Reverend Brother Dr. William Calhoun, Pastor, Trinity Baptist Church, Baltimore, MD; Brother Dr. Ryle Bell, Professor of Dentistry, Howard University; Brother Dr. Kevin Cokley, Assistant Professor of Psychology, Southern Illinois University; Brother Jesse Wise; Office of Residence Life, Bowie State University; Brother Lyede St. Leger, Assistant Regional Vice President, Alpha East and Brother Darren Morton, Director of Orientation, St. Johns's University and Vice President, Alpha East.

Through the myriad of sessions and workshops presented by this talented and committed group of Brothers, the participants indicated that they were challenged beyond their most ambitious expectations. "1 will be able to incorporate the idea of spirituality and servant leadership into my leadership style," was the resolution expressed by one of the brothers. In retrospect, the Academy was an opportunity for growth, challenge and rejuvenation. Many Brothers left with a renewed spirit and commitment to the ideals of Alpha!

Plans are under way for the sixth (Zeta Class) College Chapter Leadership Academy. It is scheduled for June 3-7, 2003 at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. To express interest in attending or to receive more information, please contact the Academy Director (Ralph Johnson) at work, (410) 516-4939, home (410) 997-7906 or by Email: rjohnson06@jhu.edu.

CHARLES HARRIS WESLEY

THE HISTORY OF ALPHA PHI ALPHA

By Brother Thomas Pawley harles Harris Wesley served as the National Historian of Alpha Phi .Alpha Fraternity from his initial appointment in 1927, by General President Raymond Cannon, until his death in 1986, including the eight years he himself was General President (1932-1940). During this period, he wrote or edited fourteen editions and printings of the Histon' of Alpha Phi Alpha. A Development in College Life, covering the period 1906-1979. Three subsequent editions have been published since his demise by the General Office.

There have been three historians in the past decade. Thomas Pawley served briefly from 19931996, resigning on the advice of his physician when he suffered a reoccurrence of "Ph. D. disease" (endio neurotic edema), when he became engrossed in research for a new edition covering the years 1974-1994. In the year 2000, the millennium edition was published under the aegis of the newly appointed Historian, Dr. Robert Harris of Cornell University, with an epilogue by Dr. Harry Dunbar, thus ending the Wesley era. The book, authored by Dr. Wesley, grew from eight chapters in the first edition to nineteen and contains three prefaces and four appendices. It was a seminal document in the historiography of the black experience in the United States of America.

C

As Fraternity Historian, Dr. Wesley also wrote a second treatise, Henry Arthur Callis. Life and Legacy published, in 1977. It is unique, as a historio-biographical study in three sections. Part 1 is an expansion of certain aspects of the History emphasizing the relationship between the last of the Founders of the Fraternity with the organization from its earliest days as a social study club until Dr. Callis' demise in 1976. Part 2 is a symposium of former general officers on the biographer. Part 3 is a collection of medical essays writ-

ten by the distinguished founder and physician. An appendix provides additional historical data including Dr. Callis' "Notes on the Founding of Alpha" and selected addresses to General Conventions. This article will attempt to survey Dr. Wesley's career as Fraternity Historian summarizing (1) The effort of the Fraternity to get a history written (2) problems encountered by the author

approved that "The President appoint a historian whose duty it shall be to write a history of the Fraternity" (H- 92). As early as 1911, however, the Founders had agreed among themselves to write a history of the Fraternity. Accordingly, Henry A. Callis formulated a questionnaire and sent it to Chapters in an effort to secure historical data. The result is not known. In 1916 former General President Charles H. Garvin was appointed Historian and he "began to gather material for a history". (H-103) He was the Fraternity's first Historian. His efforts did not result in the publication of a history so that in 1920, the General Convention decided that the General President (L.L. McGee) should appoint a committee of three "to compile a detailed history of the Fraternity."

(H-124) A year later difficulties encountered by the committee he had appointed caused the General President to defer the matter until 1922.

(H-136) However, the efforts of the commission were thwarted again the next year because of the failure of Chapters to cooperate with its request for data. (H-141) In 1925 another committee was formed because "some of the Founders are passing into the Great Beyond and it is becoming increasingly difficult to speak with any degree of certainty with respect to the early history of the Fraternity." (H-158) It is not clear whether this committee materialized.

Writing and publishing a history of the Fraternity was fraught with difficulties. The earliest mention of a historian occurred during the Sixth General Convention, December 29-31, 1913 at Howard University in Washington, D.C. This was the same convention at which the Fraternity journal, The Sphinx" was founded. A motion was

Raymond Cannon who was General President and pressing the convention to pass his proposal for writing a history recalled the confusion over the issue and the efforts of some disgruntled Brothers to defeat it.

THE HISTORY OF ALPHA PHI ALPHA porters of (selfish) schemes purposely confused the proposition...with some of their measures perhaps to carry their own proposals into law...Their measures were defeated and the history was lost for the time being...Brother Garrett Morgan from Pi Chapter in Cleveland...gained the floor...condemned the action and offered $100.00 toward the expense of the history. Enthusiasm was rekindled and the proposition...passed...But for his offer, I believe that our Fraternity history would have never materialized." (T.T.-262) Unfortunately, Mr. Garrett faced "financial difficulties" during the year and was unable to make good on his offer. The next year, 1926, at the convention in Richmond his circumstances having improved, he presented fifty dollars in cash to the convention and the convention recommended that the General President appoint a Brother who was a "trained historian" to write the history. (TT-267) From the beginning of his tenure as General President in 1923, Cannon states, "The authorization of a history was an outstanding plank of my administration each and all four years in office...it was a tedious and laborious task; but I saw it through. I wanted to resign the Presidency before I did but I was reluctant to do so until I could see the history coming into existence." (T.T.-263) As General President, in 1925 he had invited two of the Founders to address the convention. He states: "In his address to the (18th) General Convention, Brother Murray gave his version of the origin and early history of Alpha Phi Alpha. Brother Callis was then invited to speak and...it developed that the two Founders were not in agreement as to who the acuial founders..were...This was the spark that fired the long, long, recommended proposal that the history of the Fraternity be written while it was still possible to do so with some degree of certainty." (H.A.C-142) Having received the mandate, Cannon immediately began the search during the convention.

Several qualified Alpha men were recommended to him, including Charles Wesley who was not present. At the urging of Brother James N. Saunders, he went to Washington, D.C. and Howard University to interview Wesley. (T.T.-263) He states: "After leaving the convention (in Richmond) at its adjournment, I stopped in Washington, D.C, visited Howard University and had a conference with Charles Wesley who agreed to undertake it. (H.A.C-81) In 1927, General President Cannon created a special historical committee to assist Dr. Wesley.

One of the Founders, George Kelly, who was asked to serve on the committee was reluctant to do so.

He wrote: "At first I was inclined not to get in this history making of the Fraternity. So many years

have passed since we were founded that all the facts are hard to verify and the mentioning of incidents often lead to controversies among those of the Founders who are living." (T.T.-72) He ultimately recanted. In 1928 ,it appears that the newly elected General President B. Andrew Rose also created a committee to assist in "obtaining information for Wesley." It may well have been an expansion of the one created previously by Cannon. On it werefiveof the Founders (Morton, Tandy and Jones were not included) and Past General Presidents Roscoe C. Giles (1910) and Charles Garvin (1912-13).

A year after his appointment in 1928, the Historical Commission of which Dr. Weslev was

Chairman reported "great progress" was being made toward completion of the project. (H-171) The following year the first edition was published, twenty-six years after the need for such a publication was formally recognized.

By the strangest of coincidences, Charles Wesley was initiated into Zeta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha at Yale University in 1913, the same year in which the first mention of the need for a Historian was made at a General Convention. When he was approached by Raymond Cannon and requested to undertake the project he states, "I had just published my first book in 1927 and was looking forward for (sic) number two and number two was the "History of Alpha Phi Alpha." (H.H.C-144) (The convention took place on December 29-31, 1926. This meeting must have taken place in January 1927, the year of publication of "The first book.") This book was what Francille Rusan Wilson terms "...Wesley's path breaking study Negro Labor in the United States. 1850 -1925."

I had never heard of Dr. Wesley and did not know that he and my father knew each other and had been enrolled in Harvard Graduate School at the same time until much later when he asked me during the General Convention of 1950 in Kansas City, "How's your father?"

Acquiring primary documents and confirming oral statements regarding the facts of the early years proved to be a difficult and arduous task.

Wesley turned to the living Founders and other members of the committee for assistance. Among the most helpful were Dr. Roscoe Giles, a 1907 initiate, Dr. Henry Callis, one of the "original seven" over whom there was a great deal of disagreement and Eugene Kinckle Jones, one of the first three initiates who was later included among the "jewels" of the Fraternity. The committee or commission made an appeal in the February 1928 issue of The Sphinx'â&#x20AC;˘ requesting copies of convention minutes between 1910 and 1918 as well as pleading for convention photographs and old copies of the magazine. Herman Mason, author of The Talented Tenth, also notes that the documents Roscoe Giles had saved helped to reconstruct the first three years of the Fraternity. These included the first ritual and constitution among others. (T.T. -215) After completing the first four chapters, Wesley sent them to Callis for reading and correction "because he did not participate on the oral conferences as did the Founders in Washington,

THE SPHINX速 SPRING 2003

THE HISTORY OF ALPHA PHI ALPHA D.C. and New York." (H.A.C-65) The date was January 12, 1929, almost exactly two years after he had been contacted by Raymond Cannon. He requested Dr. Callis to send him a photograph and then "recognizing that (Callis) moved at his own pace...suggested that he read it immediately... (telling) Callis not to delay...because the cost of printing was based upon time, (a white he?)

"Three days later, Callis wrote back expressing his high sentiments in reading the early events of the Fraternity... (indicating) he found it difficult to read without tears rolling unbidden down my cheeks'. He commented only on a few items and gave suggestions..." (T.T.-13) This failure to point out errors became a point of contention between them later.

The effort to write the first edition was "exhaustive and challenging", according to Herman Mason. "There were times when he could not get Founders to respond to requests for information." Mason suggests this is why General President Rose had formed a committee to help him. (T.T.-277) Dr. Callis seems to have been the exception. "Throughout his life," writes Mason, "Calfis monitored and scrutinized the content of the history." In one instance he demanded that a point be changed causing Wesley to write him, "History is changed or rewritten only when there is introduction of new evidence and not merely by reference to one's memory." This caused Callis to respond in a speech to the General Convention, which he began with the words "contrary to the published history..." (T.T.-15) Wesley, of course, wrote Callis on April 15, 1959, after hearing about the speech, "I think you should recall, you read this manuscript section in 1928 and subsequendy, I do not ask that you share with me my responsibility in error...but I think you shared with me an opportunity to correct the error prior to the date of your speech."

(T.T .-15) Wesley then expressed his view of the problem faced by writers of contemporary history suggesting the problem he was facing. He wrote: "One of the difficulties of writing history during the life of the participants is the danger of injuring some and giving praise to others and not treating personalities and events as those who do not write history would want to be treated. Historians who write about contemporary events are continuously in hot water, while those who write of the dead past have more satisfactory acceptance." (TT.-15) Suffice it to say Charles Wesley had the greatest respect for Dr. Callis. Throughout the years the two exchanged correspondence and he always gave Calhs' suggestions "full consideration." He

college men and also the first comprehensive history of the oldest Negro Fraternity." (H.-179) The report also recommended setting aside the net income from sales to create a fund to grant aid in the publication of books on Negro life and history

by Negro authors particularly those who were members of the Fraternity.

In October 1935, the second edition, revised and enlarged, was published by the Foundation Publishers which had been created by the Fraternity to replace the defunk Howard University Press. Its twelve chapters and three hundred fiftytwo pages contained seventy-five illustrations, included the words of the Alpha Phi Alpha Hymn and covered the years 1906-1934. The General Organization had purchased the type of the first edition from the Howard University Press and established the Foundation Publishers. It has published all subsequent printings of the history as well as other writings by the membership. It is interesdng to note that in the sixty-five years since the second edition was published, only seven offered him the opportunity to comment on every chapters have been added.

It contained 294 pages and 59 research. In fact, the new chapters of several of illustrations. Reporting on the publication to the the last editions had become more or less a General Convention, Dr. Wesley wrote, "For the chronicle of events and summaries of reports of first time in the history of the western world, there officers and General Conventions, lacking the crithas appeared a study of a selected group of Negro ical insights of earlier ones. And there were an increasing number or errors in the text, some typographical, others factual.

Therefore, they continued in print until after his demise since no one dared challenge this beloved icon of the Fraternity.

The first edition of ten chapters begins with chapter one, "The Origin of Alpha Phi Alpha" and closed with the chapter "A Definite Program". In the second edition, chapter eleven discusses the great depression and its effect on the Fraternity, while chapter twelve focuses on the Fraternity's activities in education. No new chapters were added to the third edition, published in 1939Chapter twelve was expanded to cover the four years between 1935-1939- In a preface to the third edition, Wesley reveals that he recognized the problem of writing the Fraternity's history. He

states, "The description of events so close at hand (italics mine) in their proper perspective is a difficult task for the ablest historian and when one has been an active participant in these events the task makes greater demands upon the resources of the investigator." He then offered what amounts to an apology for errors and inaccuracies. Later editions were not preceded by a new preface and the word "Negro" was dropped from the subtitle.

At some point, probably in the 1991 edition, an editor changed "Preface to the Third Edition" to "Subsequent Editions" having recognized the omission. Ironically it concludes with the "apology" thus focusing attention on the principal flaw of these later editions.

Charles Wesley was well aware of the seminal nature of his work, as we have noted earlier in this paper. Was his view shared by others?

A review of the original edition appeared in the lournal of Negro History edited by Dr. Carter G. Woodson. Unsigned, it may well be the evaluation of Dr. Woodson himself. The review, after discussing the need for Fraternities and Sororities as a means of satisfying the quest for social contact among African American college students, proceeds to a discussion of problems these groups have created and the opposition to them especially among Negro colleges. The reviewer concludes, "In Dr. Wesley's book, however, one finds a good case for Alpha Phi Alpha. He connects the effort historically with the rise of the Negro college...(He) looks beyond the criticisms...and finds in this craft a definite program."

He continues to do this in the early editions but lapses into chronicle in the later ones. Dr. Callis recognized this and called it to Wesley's attention in a letter to him in 1959- He states, "The new chapter is long. It seems to me that space might be saved by presenting significant accomplishments of officers, regions and Chapters rather than reports on proposals. All 6,000 active members cannot expect to see their names in the history." (T.T.-18) Unfortunately they did and many still do.

In December 1940, Dr. Roscoe Giles wrote Dr. Wesley: "When the first history of the Fraternity came out, it contained many claims on the part of men, some of whom are now dead, who did none of the things the credit for which they took themselves. In fact some of them were not even in school, nor in the town of Ithaca, for that matter. ...This matter was a great source of disappointment to me." (T.T. -215) Nevertheless The History of Alpha Phi Alpha. A Development in College Life was a pioneering effort by one of the "new school of black historians" which in addition to

M I S S I O N STATEMENT MISSION STATEMENT: (The following is the Statement of the Charge to the Committee given in the remarks of the Chairman convening the first meeting of the Centennial Committee August 2, 2002 in Las Vegas, Nevada during the Alpha Economic Conference).

We gather today to take a formal and important forward step in the life of this Fraternity. We formally begin the work of the Centennial Committee of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. This is a solemn and awesome task by direction of General President Harry Johnson. Each of us has been appointed to this committee with the charge to plan and execute a fitting and worthy commemoration and celebration of 100 years of leadership and service of our Fraternity to the nation and the world.

Our charge is vast in that we are given flexibility in marshalling the Brothers and resources of Alpha in this work. We are not looking merely to a Centennial Convention, although we will have a Centennial Convention, let there be no doubt that the Centennial Convention will be the most magnificent gathering of our history. The Centennial Convention is destined to be fitting crescendo and crowning achievement to the glorious legacy of Alpha in its 100th Year. This Convention will also be a launching pad for the restatement of Alpha's ideals and principles for this new century and millennium.

The Centennial Convention will be preceded by a "Centennial Era" -A period of preparation and mobilization consisting of nationwide activities and events, the commissioning of intellectual and scholarly works, the presentation of exhibits, lectures, artworks and musical expositions and the production of film and video presentations. All of these things are within the realm of possibility and the jurisdiction of this committee, in carrying out our charge to worthily transmit to our members, our community, the nation and the world the story of seven men who spawned a movement, one which changed the course of history and advanced a people and a world.

The movement begun in 1906 continues today through all of us who wear the black and gold and bear the message and inspiration of Alpha in our hearts.

This committee is by no means complete, we shall expand as our vision becomes clearer and as tasks and assignments mandate. This core group assembled here today has been selected based on your demonstrated commitment and dedication to our Fraternity as well as your unique leadership skills and insights.

All of our efforts will be directed to one purpose - to raise up the light and banner of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc, and have the world know and duly appreciate that we are First of All, Servants of All and that We Transcend All! We remember at this hour our Jewel Founders, Henry Callis, Charles Chapman, Eugene Jones, George Kelly, Nathaniel Murray, Robert Ogle and Vertner Tandy as well as the many thousands of Brothers who have gone before us, to whose story we must now bring voice, meaning, life, justice and vindication. We invoke their inspiration and blessings upon this undertaking.

In their names, I charge us, my Brothers, to be faithful to this solemn mission given to us. Let us plan and execute our work embracing the worlds standard of excellence in all we do, so that in presenting our Centennial Celebration, it shall be worthy of all that has gone before us and serve as a lasting tribute and standard of excellence for Alpha Phi Alpha long after each of us has gone. So then with courage, energy, vision and prayerful thought, let us begin our work!

BROTHER

THURGOOD

MARSHALL

• • • (1908-1993)

rother Thurgood Marshall, the nation's first African-American Associate Justice of the Supreme Court was born on July 2,1908 in west Baltimore, Maryland. His parents were Norma, a schoolteacher and William, a dining-car waiter on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. William Marshall instilled an early interest in law in young Thurgood by taking him and his older brother, William Aubrey, to the courthouse to watch trials.

The elder Marshall instilled something else in young Thurgood - a fighting spirit and fierce determination to combat racial discrimination

B

and injustices. Brother Marshall, whose greatgrandfather refused to accept his role as a slave and was later freed, came from a lineage of African-Americans who fought against racial discrimination and persecution.

In 1925, Brother Marshall entered Lincoln University in Chester, Pennsylvania where he later graduated cum laude with distinction in 1930. It was in college that Brother Marshall began reading W.E.B. DuBois' essays on racism. He was so inspired by what he read, that in 1925, Brother Marshall joined fellow students in his first fight for racial equality by holding a "sit in" at a segregated theater. This event marked the beginning of Brother Marshall's long fight for racial equality on behalf of African Americans.

In 1931, he entered Howard University Law School, where he graduated at the top of his class in 1933. Eager to become a successful lawyer, Brother Marshall opened his own law practice in Baltimore in 1933 during the Great Depression.

Brother Marshall's timing for starting a practice could not have been worse or better. The Great Depression caused financial hardship for nearly every American - especially blacks.

And if there was ever a time blacks needed the law on their side, it was in 1933.

Although Brother Marshall's clients often could not pay him,

he persevered in his quest to become a successful attorney and also to help others.

One of his earliest victories was a case against the State of Maryland in which he represented black schoolteachers who were being paid the same salary as janitors. His successful argument resulted in raises for black teachers as well as principals.

Brother Marshall's next noteworthy case was against the University of Maryland Law School.

The school had denied admission to Donald Murray - an African-American applicant. Brother Marshall's eloquent argument led to the desegregation of the University of Maryland in 1935 when Murray was admitted.

THURGOOD MARSHALL

AND THE "NAACP Before serving on the Supreme Court, Brother Marshall served as the first DirectorCounsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, Inc. (LDF). His tenure, from 1940 to 1961, was a pivotal time for the organization, as overturning racial segregation was one of its prime directives. Brother Marshall, along with his mentor, Charles Hamilton, (who was the first Black lawyer to win a case before the Supreme Court), developed a long-term strategy for eradicating segregation in schools. They first concentrated on graduate and professional schools, believing that white judges would be more likely to sympathize with the ambitious young Blacks in

those settings. As the team won more and more cases, they turned toward elementary and high schools. This culminated in the landmark 1954 decision. "Brown v. The Board of Education", which declared segregation of public schools illegal. By this time, Brother Marshall was an experienced Supreme Court advocate, having already presented many cases before them, including challenges against white-only primary elections and restrictive covenants. He presented each of his cases in what would become his hallmark style: straightforward and plain-spoken.

When asked for a definition of "equal" by Justice Frank-furter, Brother Marshall replied, "Equal means getting the same thing, at the same time and in the same place."

In 1939, Brother Marshall became Director of the NAACP's Legal Defense and Educational Fund. Over the next few years Brother Marshall

won 29 of the 32 cases that he argued before the Supreme Court. This included cases concerning the exclusion of black voters from primary elections (1944), restrictive covenants in housing (1948), unequal facilities for students in state universities (1950) and racial segregation in public schools (1954).

Brother Marshall began his legal career as counsel to the Baltimore branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). He joined the Association's national legal staff in 1936 and in 1938 became its Chief Legal Officer. In 1939 Marshall became Director of die NAACP's Legal Defense and Educational Fund. Over the next few years Marshall won 29 of the 32 cases that he argued before the Supreme Court. This included cases concerning the exclusion of black voters from primary elections (1944), restrictive covenants in housing (1948), unequal facilities for students in state universities (1950) and racial segregation in public schools (1954).

Brother Marshall coordinated the NAACP's efforts to end racial segregation for the next twenty years. In 1954, he argued the case of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kan-sas before the Supreme Court of the United States. A case in which racial segregation in United States public schools was declared unconstitutional.

The Black Heritage stamp series which began in 1978 commemorates the life of Brother Thurgood Marshall and marks the 26th year of the Black Heritage stamp series.

The first day of issue ceremony for the Thurgood Marshall commemorative stamp took place on January 7, 2003, at 10:30 a.m., at the Thurgood Marshall Federal Judiciary Building, Washington DC. The event was free and open to the public where sales of the stamp will take place at 9:00 a.m. as well as at Washington D.C. post offices. The stamps became available at post offices across the country on January 8, 2003.
