PRESIDENT'S LETTE

"I sought my soul. My soul I could not see.

I sought my God, but He eluded me.

I sought my Brothers' andfound all three!"

To the Men of the Black & Old Gold: reetings! The great educator and philosopher, Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, once proclaimed: "I have only just a minute. Only sixty seconds in it. Forced upon me, can't refuse it. Didn't seek it, didn't choose it. But it's up to me to use it. I must suffer if I lose it; give account if I abuse it. Just a tiny, little minute. But eternity is in it." As General President of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., I come before you today with a heavy heart and a contrite spirit, as we reflect on the lives lost and dreams deferred on September 11,2001. On that ill-fated day, just a short time ago, the United States was suddenly and deliberately attacked with hatred, malice and aforethought. Today, however, as our Country and, indeed, our Fraternity, attempts to heal our wounds and come together as one, I encourage every Alpha Brother and all citizens of goodwill, to take a 'tiny little minute' to honor the memories of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

G

"To whom much is given, much is also required." As members of the greatest Fraternity in the world, we have an obligation to ourselves to uplift the hearts of the 'least of these' by "letting our lives do the singing." Throughout the history of our great organization, our Brothers have labored as "servants of all," through leadership by example. Once again, that courage was transparent to the world on the day that innocence died. Many of you know, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. was direcdy and personally affected by these most recent terrorist attacks. Several of our Brothers were working in the World Trade Center when it crumbled and fell to the ground. Unfortunately, our Fraternity was again affected when the dreaded anthrax disease claimed one of our Brothers, as he worked hard to serve us as an employee of the Postal Service. It is with their memories in our hearts and their families in our prayers, that we dedicate this issue of the SphinxŠ Magazine.

On a lighter note, I had the pleasure to formally announce our first International Partnership with one of our special projects. The proud Brothers in the Country of Bermuda signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Big Brother Big Sisters. In these past elections I was proud to campaign with several Brothers seeking Elective office. Once again we will have an Alpha Man at the helm in Detroit, Michigan. He is Brother Kwame Kilpatrick, "way to go Brother Kilpatrick."

My Brothers in Alpha, as our Fraternity continues to face the challenges of the twenty-first century, we do so knowing - beyond a shadow of a doubt - that God is still in control. Through it all, however, our Fraternity continues to remain steadfast, unshaken and unmovable, "always abounding in the work of the Lord," for our labor is not in vain.

We salute those who gave their lives that day. Alpha Phi Alpha shall never forget!

With all best wishes, I remain, Fraternally yours,

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

DIRECTOR'S LETTE

Greetings Brothers! t is truly an honor and, no doubt a privilege, to come before you once again in the noble name of Alpha!

On behalf of our illustrious General President, Brother Harry E. Johnson, Sr. and our Corporate Office Staff, I extend to you best wishes and salutations from our "The House the Jewels built!" As the day-today administrator at our Corporate Headquarters office in Baltimore, Maryland, I am indeed pleased with the progress our staff has made and continues to make with regard to our service to the Brotherhood. As such, I am pleased to provide the following report on our fraternal initiatives so that we may keep you up to date and well informed on the issues that matter most.

Once again, my Brothers, as we reflect on the small success our staff has had since the 2001 Regional Conventions and the grand success we all experienced during the 95th Anniversary Convention of our beloved Fraternity, I am pleased to report to you that our hardworking staff of family and friends are continually striving to serve you better and our efforts are beginning to pay off. To that end, the following information provided below is a brief synopsis of the milestones and achievements we continue to enjoy, with the help from a grateful Brotherhood:

I

NATIONAL PROGRAMS, SPECIAL PROJECTS & EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

The Fraternity recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding between ourselves and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, for the establishment of an Alpha Head Start "Fatherhood Initiative." Our organization has solidified our partnership with our Fraternity's National Partners and we are proud to announce the election of the General President to serve on the National Board of Directors for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America, Inc. Since its establishment in January 2001, the Political Action Commission has worked hard to achieve its mission and most recently supported the efforts of Brothers Raymond Pierce of Cleveland, Ohio and Kwame Kilpatrick of Detroit, Michigan in their quests to be elected mayor of their respective cities.

95TH ANNIVERSARY GENERAL CONVENTION

The 2001 General Convention was a resounding success, achieving the distinction of having more Registered Brothers for a regular convention than any other conference in the history of Alpha! During this year's General Convention, the Fraternity once again made its mark on the lives of every day individuals by reaching out to the New Orleans Community with much-needed home cooling systems, including widow unit air conditioners and fans for the elderly and disadvantaged families. The General Organization, under the leadership of the Director of Conventions, has developed a stellar "convention planning module," complete with a new General Convention Planning Guide, which may be used to assist chapters, districts and regions in planning their next convention.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

The Corporate Headquarters is continually working to improve our processes, in our efforts to serve you better and, as such, has continued to respond to your calls, letters, faxes and email in a timely and efficient manner. The Corporate Office Staff continues to undergo professional Customer Service Training. Please be sure to contact us with constructive feedback, so that we may continue to improve to serve you better. Maintenance of the Fraternity's new web site, www.alphaphialpha.net has been moved "in-house" and is updated on a regular basis so that we may provide you with the information you need to continue the work of Alpha!

My Brothers, our goal is to serve you better and provide the quality of service that you have come to expect from the world's leading fraternity, but we can't do it without your support. Please join us in raising the bar of excellence in Alpha and moving our Fraternity forward!

Sincerely yours,

Gregory Phillips Executive Director

EDITX

EDITOR'S LETTE

Distinguished Men of Alpha, n Anniversary is always a milestone and this one is no exception. This latest edition of The Sphinx© is the 95th Anniversary Convention Edition. With this issue we celebrate not only the longevity and success of the Alpha Phi Alpha convention, but also the progress and countless achievements that Alpha Men have made in business, government and society though our General Conventions.

A

Integrated within this paramount Organ are highlights from the 85th General Convention, scenes from the 2001 Congressional Black Caucus Reception, and the Fraternities official statement regarding the occurrences on September 11, 2001.

As William Shakespeare once wrote, "All the world is a Stage; And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man of his time plays many parts..." With this in mind we embrace of the memory of the Life and Legacy of 21st General President, Brother Thomas Winston Cole, Sr. As "the Struggle Continues," there is much that Alpha Phi Alpha has to reflect upon from the past ninety-five years.

However now is not the time for reflection. Now is the time for advancement; improvement; and evolution. Now is the time to embrace our General Presidents concept of taking a "FORWARD STEP...INTO THE FUTURE!" Brother Cole once stated, "LET A RACE OF MEN NOW RISE-STAND TALL, AND TAKE CONTROL." It is with this Spirit that I ask the Brotherhood for support and suggestions on how to make our Fraternal Organ better. I have a vision in which I see The Sphinx© in the year to come, however, it is not my sole vision which will allow The Sphinx© to be elevated to the next level. "Because of the intellectual proficiency of our Fraternity, it is only our Brothers who can lift the quality of this publication" as my predecessor Brother John I. Harris once stated. "The Sphinx© can always be better."

Now to tackling the most dreaded of editorial chores, Corrections! In our last issue, we mistakenly highlighted a submission of an aspirant, not a Brother, submitted by a party unknown. This submission, One Unique Brother (pg. 13) should be noted as an aspirant's submission. Also I extend my sincere apologies to the Brothers of Zeta Alpha Lambda Chapter (pg. 44). There are three corrections which should be noted in their chapter news submission; There were "2000" people in attendance not "200", Mount Herman is a "Methodist" Church not a "Baptist" church; and the photograph placed in this section is not their chapter photo.

Finally, I would like to strongly encourage all Brothers in the Legal, Political, Scientific, Historical, Economical (Realtors/Investors) and Medical fields to submit their names and information for future reference and to possibly be called upon for article submissions. Continue Onward and Upward!

Fraternally,

William Douglass Lyle Interim Editor-in-Chief

ALPHA P H I ALPHA 2 0 0 1 CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS RECEPTION

ne of the most important political episodes in the history of the African-Americans political involve- ment was the convergence in 1971 of thirteen black members of the United States House of Representatives to form the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC). Throughout its history, the Congressional Black Caucus has worked to find effective ways to influence the U.S. domestic and foreign policy. The Caucus has been active in all stages of develop- ment of legislation. The scope of the legislation has ranged from non-binding resolutions to comprehensive legislation providing for specific and concrete action. The Caucus was and still is, me most viable vehicle for confronting conditions that deny rights to minorities, and dealing with issues to improve the quality of life for all poor people and other powerless minorities.

O

30 years later Caucus Members still meet to give legitimate representation to the "unrepresented millions of African-Americans" residing in the United States today. Among the many topics of discussion during this weekend were: combating HIV/AIDS epidemic African-American Communities, congressional redistricting, the implications of genetic research for African-Americans, issues relating to the pending Education bill and quality public education, child welfare racial profiling and criminal justice, expanding economic opportunities, election reform voter education and mobilization, preserving historically black colleges, and universities and closing the health care disparity gap among many others.

One month following the 95th Anniversary Convention, Alpha Phi Alpha members visited the nations capitol in September for the Fraternity's annual reception at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc.'s 31st Annual Legislative Conference.

The Fraternity's 2001 Congressional Black Caucus Reception, the 9th annual event honoring the CBC members, was held at the Renaissance Washington D.C. Hotel located in the downtown area of Washington, D.C. immediately across from the convention center.

THE SPHINX速 SUMMER 2001

Alpha Phi Alpha hosted one of the first receptions of the evening's many extravagant events. Guest were greeted immediately by General President Johnson, Several Past General Presidents, and members of the Board of Directors upon entry to the reception. In attendance were many AfricanAmerican Leaders from various political, business, labor, community service, organizations and government, who came to meet with the Fraternity's Leadership and Brothers. The enormous turnout at the reception could be said to direcdy correlate with expanded opportunities for African-American and other Minorities. Several Graduating College students and Congressional Interns were found networking with some of the corporate leadership heads as well as the Congressional Members. The evening ended as General President Johnson presented the Alpha Men who are members of Congress with the Robert H. Ogle Congressional Leadership Award, "In recognition of their timeless efforts on behalf of the Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and the Constituents of their respective Congressional District in the Halls of the United States Congress."

National Pan-Hellenic Council leaders who were in attendance included: Norma White, Supreme Basileus of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.; Helen J. Owens, Grand Basileus of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc.; President-Elect Steven Birdine of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc; Lloyd Jordan, Grand Basileus of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., and Richard Snow of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. representing the Grand Polemarch.

Also in attendance, Tommy Dortch of 100 Black Men. General President Johnson received a tremendous ovation when the announcement of the event being held on the eve of his birthday. Towards the end of his "birthday" speech, Brother Johnson took the opportunity (while having this captive audience), to discuss the importance of some of the largest priorities of the Alpha Phi Alpha and the World Policy Council and introduced the special guest and corporate office staff members.

COLLEGE CHAPTER

LEADERSHIP ACADEMY DELTA CLASS

By Brother Ralph Johnson, Ph.D. Academy Leader

T

he fourth annual College Chapter Leadership Academy was held June 9-15, 2001 at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. By all accounts, it was an unprecedented success! In the words of one participant, as stated on the evaluation form, "Honestly speaking, the academy has been one of the most rewarding experiences I have had since becoming an Alpha.

The information and knowledge I have gained through this process are immeasurable and the bonds that have been forged with the other brothers is unbreakable. I would recommend that every member of our Fraternity attend the academy and reap its benefits. My mentality is forever changed and I am eager to return to my chapter as a servant leader."

There were twenty-four College Brothers in the Delta Class, which is so far, the largest ever. They included: Anthony Barnes, Delta Alpha Chapter, Clajlin University; Sean Parker Berry, Gamma Sigma Chapter, Delaware State University; Troy Caldwell, Epsilon Phi Chapter, Northern Illinois University; Peter Carr, IV, Gamma Xi Chapter, UCLA; Omar English, Eta Chapter, NY Institute of Technology; Derrick Everett, Alpha Eta Chapter, Washington University (St. Louis); Kenneth Gause, Gamma Sigma Chapter, Delaware State University; Le'Jamiel Goodall, Alpha Mu Chapter, Northwestern University; Brad Griffith, Theta Epsilon Chapter, St. John's University; Jermaine Guthrie, Rho Rho Chapter, Stony Brook University; Javier Gutierrez, Gamma Xi Chapter, UCLA; Ricardo Jones, Alpha Psi Chapter, Lincoln University (MO); Lionel Lawrence, Pi Kappa Chapter, Cal State Northridge; Malcolm McGuire, Alpha Sigma Chapter, Wiley College; Kenneth Moody, Gamma Sigma Chapter, Delaware State University; Melvin Moore, Nu Iota Chapter, Rowan University; Troy Morris, Gamma Sigma Chapter, Delaware State University; Wayman Newton, Psi Chapter, University of Pennsylvania; Riley Peoples, Jr., Gamma Sigma Chapter, Delaware State University; Quennel Robinson, Zeta Chi Chapter, University of Texas, Arlington; Gavin Sandiford, Beta Alpha Chapter, Morgan State University; Eddie Thomas, Jr., Kappa Chi Chapter, Francis Marion University; Leroy Tobias, Jr., Sigma Sigma Chapter, Johns Hopkins University; Marshall Weir-Mabry, Iota Eta Chapter, Mercer University.

As in past year's, the 2001 Academy was be 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. For example, one participant stated that, "I had no real philosophy on leadership before I came here." And another shared that "Attending the academy has helped broaden my horizons on leadership; it has humbled me as a servant leader and helped me learn more about myself."

The text for the academy was Servants of the People: The 1960's 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.

THE SPHINX速 SUMMER 2001

LEADERSHIP ACADEMY 2001 GOALS

The goals of this academy were twofold. First, the academy was designed as an intensive leadership training session for colleg 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 Corporate 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 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 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. E. Michael Sutton, Assistant Professor of Higher Education, Appalachian State University; Brother Andre Ward, President and CEO, Kafre Ward Corporation, Cincinnati, OH; Brother Jesse Wise; Office of Residence Life, Bowie State University; Brother Trevor Buford, Educator, Charlotte, NC; Brother Dr. Jamie Washington, Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs, University of Maryland, Baltimore County and Brother Darren Morton, Director of Orientation, St. John's University and Vice President of 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. "I will definitely assess and reassess my actions to make certain that they are congruent to our mission," was the resolution expressed by one of the brothers. When responding to a question on the evaluation form that asked the participants to List the three most important things learned at the academy and to indicate why they were important, one brother stated, "The reason I chose the ritual (in depth) was because I learned more about our Fraternity in one hour that I did in my three months as an Alpha. Chapter management was second because I learned how to manage my chapter effectively and what needs to be done. Membership intake was an interesting session because it opened my eyes to a lot of things being done that need to be changed."

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! I was deeply moved by the statement one participant wrote, "Overall, the academy was great! It restored my faith in Alpha." Another said that, "I feel hke a rock in my heart and on my shoulders has been removed and thrown far away from me. I will remember this (academy) forever."

Plans are under way for the fifth (Epsilon Class) College Chapter Leadership Academy. It is scheduled for June 8-14, 2002 at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. To express interest in attending or to receive more information, please contact the Academy Director at work, (410) 516-4939, home (410) 997-7906 or by Email: rjohnson@jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu.

The response to the redevelopment of the Fraternity Website has been extremely positive. Brothers have found the new site to be more user friendly, updated on a more frequent basis, and of course a true representation of Alpha Phi Alpha.

Almost every form needed by members of the Fraternity, can now be downloaded and printed, right from there home or school computer. Brothers are sharing ideas, discussing issues and contributing possible improvements that can be made to the site. Here are just a few of the responses left by Brothers.

Great Job!!!!

Brothers, I would like to commend the national organization for their efforts in launching this new Web site. In addition, I look forward to conducting most of my Alpha business and personal business via this site. Earlier, I had the opportunity to register for the General Convention online. This process was "too easy" and within days I had my confirmation letter in the mail.

Efficiency is key! Please share my thanks and comments with rest of the staff.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD I like everything about the new website, and I hope that it continues to add features. It is a VAST improvement over the previous website, and shows that Alpha is never satisfied with the status quo.

Brother Lawrence C. Ross, Jr. GOOD JOB on the new site!!!! It's a well-awaited treat!!!

The "forms"area is the best thing since SLICED BREAD!!!!!!

Brother Derrick L. Holland I am very pleased to see the Fraternity move in a positive direction in regards to the new website and the Value Added Services program. I must commend you and all of the Brothers involved for keeping Alpha ahead of the pack.

A few weeks ago I was able to buy a new suit from the Men's Wearhouse and was able to save around $35. Today I am doing research on Starbucks stocks as well as Thoratec Labs so that I can put the Ameritrade services to good use.

Again, KUDOS on a fine job, and I look forward to seeing you in New Orleans.

Fraternally, Bro. Anthony Sanders Dear Brother General President, I've been meaning to drop you this brief note for some time now. I just wanted to let you know that I think you are "raising the bar" and giving a whole new meaning to the concept of "strong leadership". Although we don't know each other on a personal level and I'm not privy to your overall philosophy and management style, I have to tell you that I have learned a great deal from the actions that you have taken.

I find it so much easier talking to Inactive Brothers about coming back to the fold with your Value Added Services booklet.

Your political action initiatives are not only changing the way the world the views us but also the way the brothers themselves view the Fraternity. As a member of 100 Black Men of STL, I am encouraged by what seems to be a forthcoming partnership between our organizations. Often we contact our leadership when we have a problem or complaint. I just want to thank you brother and let you know that your efforts and sacrifices are indeed appreciated.

In the True Spirit, Brother Tony Billinger Missouri District Director Brothers, Without a doubt, this new look and feel of the website with the "Value-Added" amenities (let me not forget the unexpected birthday card I receive from HQ) is one of

the impetus we need to project and live that "Alpha Attitude." I hope our GP is on this hst to witness my gratitude, and any others for that matter, for seeing his vision - with the help of all the brothers - realized for our grand Fraternity.

Let's pray that this new attitude will permeate throughout the Brotherhood. The potential is there. We could use that kick every once in a while to keep us honest. We are after all, humans before we are Alphas!

Eternally, Brother Jean Duchatellier ZZL (formerly OY, F'87) Greetings Brother Johnson, I am Brother Dameon Proctor and I was made at the Gamma Nu Chapter at The Pennsylvania State University. I wanted to write to tell you how impressed I am with your Value Added Services Program. I have been a Brother for over 4 years now and I have seen some great things, but none such as this. I do think that Brothers should be able to reap the benefits of being active members of the Fraternity besides the Fraternal bond. It is also a great way to generate revenue for the Fraternity too. I voted for you and I am glad I did! The only thing I would like to see now is a realizable solution to the infamous intake mess. As a recent college grad, I will give assistance anyway I can to that and other matters.

Once again, I just wanted to applaud you on your efforts and say congratulations.

Fraternally, Brother Dameon Proctor Gamma Nu '96 Greeting Brothers in Alpha, I am thoroughly impressed with our new website, and commend all Brothers responsible for its creation. In addition, I wish to congratulate our General President on his many accomplishments in such a short span of time. The Value Added Services are truly a remarkable addition to our Fraternity, and will work wonders in terms of retention and reclamation. Each and every day I grow to love our dear Fraternity more, and more.

See you in New Orleans!

THE ALPHA PHI ALPHA FRATERNITY STATEMENT REGARDING THE EVENTS O F SEPTEMBER 11,

T

If Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., its General President, Harry E. Johnson, Sr., officers, members and its World Policy Council, express profound regret and sorrow for the victims, their families and friends of the tragedy which occurred in New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001. We applaud the great outpouring of support from people across the country who have participated in the rescue and recovery efforts and have provided assistance to the victims and their families. Especially noteworthy have been the actions and devotion to duty of firemen and police.

They merit our undying admiration and gratitude as well as do ordinary citizens who rallied in the emergency.

We condemn these atrocities and their perpetrators as crimes against humanity and as attacks on the underpinning of civil society itself. In both intent and execution, they strike at the heart of the achievement of free people, leaving behind their own legacy of envy and hate.

No matter what grievance the terrorists harbored for U.S. policies or actions, there is absolutely no rationale that sane people can accept for taking the lives of innocent men, women and children, and on such an order of magnitude. And while we are not prepared to deny anyone the rights of speech and due process, we have little or no patience for those who would find some means to explain the action of the terrorists.

We endorse and strongly support President George W Bush's stated determination to identify all accomplices in these heinous crimes and to see that neither they nor those who support and fuel their evil enterprise go unpunished. This nation will know neither peace nor tranquility until they have been brought to justice and until justice has been done.

We warn against the possibility of allowing the anger and passion of the moment to arouse suspicion and action against an individual or group of people merely because of their difference in appearance. Ethnic or religious prejudice must not be allowed to resurface in the name of national security. Islam did not attack the World Trade center and the Pentagon. Misguided Muslims did.

We believe that civil hberties won at great cost through faith and struggle must not be compromised. Not even the grant of unprecedented power to the President and to other entities justifies the abrogation of the peoples' hberties. These are the hallmark of a free people. It is this which the enemy most despises; and equally so, it is our hberties which must be protected at all costs. They define us as Americans.

We commend the building of a coalition of nations and international organizations to join us against the struggle against

THE SPHINX速 SUMMER 2001

2001

terrorism, particularly those nations which defy religious and ethnic traditions in doing so. In return, we must exercise every possible safe-guard to see that the distinction is made between governments and terrorists groups operating within their borders. To merit retaliation for the crimes committed, governments must be guilty of harboring and cooperating with the enemy. Indiscriminate attacks cannot be justified.

We are convinced that what happened on September 11 was nothing less than an attack on the civilized order of the planet.

While America was the target this time, lawlessness of the kind that this act of terrorism represents knows no boundaries. Today, America; tomorrow, another nation or group. Today, some twisted interpretation of injustice; tomorrow, a different cause.

We caution that in our understandable anxiety to avenge and bring to justice the perpetrators of evil, we can ill afford to do so by adopting the enemy's tactics.

The taking of the lives of innocent people, no less their victimization, is not a prerogative of free people. We must use every resource at our command, including those provided by our allies and friends, in the campaign against terrorism. But in doing so, we ourselves must never adopt terrorist tactics.

We call upon our membership worldwide to do all within their power to educate the public and their constituents about the issues, to fully participate in the public discourse, to generously support those who are grieving the loss of loved ones in this tragedy, to show solidarity with all Americans in the defense of the nation from terrorist attacks and to champion at home and abroad those civil hberties which we cherish as a free and democratic people.

INJUSTICE

harles Hamilton Houston* was ready to start. He convinced his new employers, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) to pursue a legal strategy for the dismantling of the idea of "Separate but Equal." This pernicious rule of law found its way into American jurisprudence by way of Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896.

The United States Supreme Court decided Plessy by way of an 8-1 vote. The Court majority held that race could separate American citizens in all matters public while separate opportunities for state supported benefits were of equal quality.

Houston knew that Blacks were not receiving equal opportunities as mandated by Plessy. He theorized that a frontal attack on Plessy would be futile. He believed that people, like White Judges who most benefitted from the racist benefits of Plessy, were not going to be disposed to overrule it. He decided, therefore, that the best legal strategy was to insist that courts enforce the clear meaning of Plessy. He knew that state and federal governments did not have the money to equalize benefits and that Plessy, would, in time, fall under its own weight.

C

The separate but equal mandate kept the races separated in all areas of human interaction. In beginning his attack on this anachronism, Houston concluded that higher education should be the first area to attack. He understood that education was the life-

line to Blacks improving their status in American society. He surmised that his attack would focus on institutions of higher learning in border states. He correctly believed that attacking racial segregation at the elementary and secondary education levels would be too volatile because of the issue of race mixing

of young children. At the college level there were adults and the issue of race and sexual interaction between classmates would be muted. He also believed that though racial segregation

THE SPHINX速 SUMMER 2001

BELFORD V. LAWSON existed in the border states that these states were close enough to states without legal segregation that there would be public support for desegregation in these border states.

Houston's legal strategy was grounded in legal principles theretofore untested in America's Courts. His strategy rested, primarily, on the 14th amendment of the United States Constitution. The amendment became part of the Constitution in 1868 and one even today widely debated what it means. To Houston, in 1934, it meant that its due process and equal protection clauses required the states of this country to enforce the clear meaning of Plessy. For Houston that meant, if Texas did not have a law school that would admit Blacks then they required that Texas build a separate law school for Blacks of the quality of the University of Texas Law School.

It must be remembered that Plessy's holding of Separate but Equal was not enforced in all states of the Union in 1934. They essentially followed it in the Southern and Southwestern part of the United States. In higher education it lead to some bizarre practices. For instance, there were no law schools in the state of Texas in 1934 that would admit Black students. They required that a Black Texan attend a law school outside Texas and the state of Texas paid all or part of that student's out of state tuition.

Houston was born in 1895 in Washington, D.C. He was the only child of a lawyer father and school teacher mother who doted over him as he academically excelled at Dunbar High School in Washington. He went from Dunbar to Amherst (Massachusetts) College. He graduated from Amherst Phi Beta Kappa. He was unclear as to his professional goals at graduation. World War I came into his life upon leaving Amherst. He served during World War I as a commissioned officer in France. It was while in the Army that he finally decided to become a lawyer. He entered Harvard Law School because it was the best law school in the country. The racism he experienced in the Army radicahzed him for hfe. One of his favorite sayings was that he would rather die on his feet than live on his knees.

Houston compiled a brilliant academic record at Harvard. He was thefirstBlack to serve on the law school's law review and he earned the LL.B, LL.M and JSD degrees at the Law School. He spokeflawlessSpanish and was said by the late Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, one of his professors at Harvard, that Houston was one of the three best law students he ever taught.

While at Harvard, Houston met a young man, who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. His new friend later became one founder of the National Bar Association and

THE SPHINX速 SUMMER 2001

the first Black Common Pleas Court Judges in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was Raymond Pace Alexander* who encouraged Houston to join Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. Once Houston became a member of Alpha he remained true to its ideals. He was in fact one founding member of Mu Lambda, thefirstgraduate chapter of Alpha in Washington, D.C. Houston was an unlikely warrior. He was a man more given to scholarly pursuit than social activism. Yet he is the man who formalized the strategy that led to the dismantling of the Plessy doctrine.

Houston's brilliance as a legal strategist flowed from his superior intellectual gifts and his abhorrence of racism. He brought to his NAACP position some 30-years of varied experiences. He was raised in a privileged middle class home during his youth. He attended Dunbar High School in Washington, D.C, arguably the best high school in America, White or Black, during his time there. Amherst and Harvard were then, as now, two of America's best institutions of higher learning. His experiences in World War I profoundly affected him and committed him to erasing racial segregation and its negative effects on the lives of Black People.

In 1924, he went from private law practice in his father's office to the Howard University Law School. During his four years at Howard, under his leadership, he transformed a moribund law school derisively called "Dummy U" into a fully accredited and respected law school. He trained his law students to be committed to the destruction of Plessy. He told them that to do otherwise was to make them "parasites on society."

He expected them to use their legal training as "social engineers" and many of them did so.

In mid-1934, Houston still needed a case to test his newly developed legal strategy. His answer came from a 1932 Howard University Law School graduate named Belford V. Lawson.* Although Lawson attended the Howard University Law School while Houston was its dean, Lawson went his own way in fighting the same battle against racial segregation. During the next 20-years, Lawson and Houston pursued different law cases to dismantle Plessy.

Lawson and others often disagreed with Houston, Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP about their strategical attack on Plessy. Houston's plan of action was to carefully select cases that would systematically undercut the legal basis for Plessy. Lawson and others found this strategy to be tepid and advocated a more frontal attack on Plessy. It was their view that racial segregation in America then was so destructive to the lives of Black folk that their deliberate approach was too time consuming. This is not to suggest in anyway that the two camps

BELFORD V. LAWSON were openly opposing each other, it was simply a difference of opinion. Both, after all, were fighting the same battle.

Lawson's greatest contribution to Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. is that while Jewel Founder Henry A. Calks, was the social conscience of this Fraternity, it was Belford v.

Lawson who most challenged this Fraternity to act out that conscience. The founders in 1906 very clearly intended this Fraternity to be the cadre that formed the leadership necessary to lead Black Americans from the desperate predicament the race found itself. Jewel Brother Calks and other founders urged this Fraternity to fight against racism in areas such as education, housing, employment and transportation. Though this Fraternity can boast that every major social movement in this country between 1906 and the present was either led or gready supported by an Alpha Man, only Belford V. Lawson routinely involved the Fraternity in his social action activities.

Although we can boast of Houston, Martin Luther King, Jr.,* Jewel founder Eugene Kinkle Jones,* Frederick Douglas Patterson,* W.E.B. DuBois* and countless others, ak of their achievements in fighting racism during their kfetime was accomplished outside of the structure of this Fraternity.

Lawson was born in 1901 in Richmond, Virginia. By 1921, he had found his way to the University of Michigan and membership in Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. He was an active member of Epsilon Chapter and he matriculated to the Yale University Law School upon graduation from Michigan. He attended Yale for two years before running out of money. After leaving Yale he moved to Washington, D.C. and worked as an insurance salesman. He completed his law degree at Howard in 1932 and he was admitted to the Bar of the District of Columbia in 1933.

Lawson was the first Black to play varsity footbak at Michigan. Throughout the remainder of his kfe he maintained the trim 6-4 physique of the wide receiver he was at Michigan.

He also maintained his impeccable taste for dress and personal appearance, which made him a most imposing person to meet. But it was his voice that captivated people. His extraordinary intekect was immediately apparent when he spoke. His deep baritone voice and clear elocution captivated members of this Fraternity and courtroom listeners throughout his life.

In 1934 when Lawson directly contacted the NAACP about his ckent Donald Murray who was suing the University of Maryland Law School for admission. At this time, Lawson was assistant legal counsel of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. He associated the Fraternity with other organizations to possibly bring a lawsuit to integrate the University of Maryland Law

School. It was Snaky determined that Houston and his protege, Thurgood Marshall,would try the case in Baltimore, Maryland.

Marshall was a 1933 graduate of the Howard University Law School who graduated No.l in his class. He attended Howard while Houston was the dean of the law school. MarshaU, By mid-1934 was in private practice in Baltimore and was doing volunteer work for the Baltimore chapter of the NAACP. The Plaintiff in the case was Donald Murray, an honors graduate from Houston's alma mater, Amherst (Massachusetts) College. Even though the University of Maryland had no official pokey denying admittance of Blacks to its law sckool, rejections based on race, was a common practice of tbe law school. Murray was denied admission to the law school as Marshak had been some four years earker, simply because he was Black.

The case was brought under the auspices of the NAACP, but it was Alpha Phi Alpha who paid litigation costs. Alpha Phi Alpha also agreed to pay ak of Murray's book expenses if he attended the law school. Murray was never a member of Alpha Phi Alpha.

Houston and Marshak won their case. Murray was ordered admitted to the law school from which he graduated three years later. For the next 20 years, Houston's strategy was pursued in housing, transportation, education and employment cases. Most of these cases were tried under the leadership of either Houston or Marshak for the NAACP. To ikustrate that Lawson involved this Fraternity in his social action activities, four examples are set-out below. The examples are not intended to be dispositive but simply ikustrative of it. It is necessary to point out here that Lawson was a lawyer of the same rank as Houston and Marshak. His law practice, unkke that of Houston and Marshak, was always private. He never had, except those he belonged to, organizations under whose auspices he operated. He participated in his civk rights work as he worked to earn a kving, while Lawson was negotiating with Houston and the Baltimore NAACP about the Murray case. This was by no means his only civk rights interest. In the summer of 1933, Lawson along with two others started an organization caked the New Negro Akiance. Tke Akiance started in a direct response to three Black employees being fired by the Hamburger Grik and replaced by white workers. The Grik was in the Black community. Lawson and his two Akiance cofounders picketed the Grik and quickly restored the Black workers to their jobs. The Akiance was formed to address issues of employment opportunity. It was comprised of individuals and organizations. One of the Alkances participants was

BELFORD V. LAWSON Alpha Phi Alpha. Not all members of the Fraternity supported Alpha's membership in the Alliance. The Alliance was particularly controversial because of allegations of Communist involvement. Houston was an early supporter of the Alliance but his support lessened as he became more involved with the NAACP. The Executive Director of the NAACP, Walter White, was never supportive of the Alliance. Another ongoing critic of the Alliance was Ralph Bunche.

A supporter of the group was William Hastie. Hastie, like Houston was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Amherst College. Hastie served as a professor and dean of the Howard University Law School. He was the first Black Federal Judge, with Fraternal membership in Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. The Alliance's primary tactic in its civil rights activities was picketing. Its members were often arrested. Lawson, Hastie, Thurmond Dotson, Thelma D. Akiss and Edward Lovett served as legal counsel when court action was required to protect the picketers. After the litigation of several cases involving arrests for picketing, the Alliance decided to appeal one of its cases to the United States Supreme Court. The legal issue the Alliance wanted defined was whether a business could secure orders from courts (injunctions) forbidding picketers who were challenging the company's goal hiring practices. The Alliance viewed their picketing as secondary boycott, a form of speech, symbolic speech and protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.

The cases, however, were framed in narrower terms by the courts. The cases were instead couched in terms of a statute. The Norris-LaGuardia Act Congress enacted this statute in 1932 to assist labor in its disputes with business. Courts, coming out of the 19th century and the Industrial Revolution, were pro business. The Norris-LaGuardia Act was intended to limit a Federal Judge's contempt power in a wide range of labor issues. The Act also limited a Federal Court's power to limit persons from picketing, striking and boycotting as a tabor tactic.

Alliance members picketed a business called Sanitary Stores because of their refusal to hire Black employees. The trial and intermediate appellate courts issued injunctions against picketing. The courts reasoned: (1) the act did not apply to this case because the dispute was racially motivated and therefore not a genuine labor dispute; (2) the aggrieved parties were not employees of Sanitary but instead were outsiders. Lawson and Dodson argued to the Supreme Court that this was indeed a genuine labor dispute controlled by the Act. The Court sided with the Alliance and held that the motivation for a labor dispute was irrelevant to the statute, and, Congress did not limit to employees the right to protest a labor practice.

THE SPHINX速 SUMMER 2001

Even though his case was decided pursuant to a Congressional statute instead of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, it is a most significant case. The New Negro Alliance, a Corporation vs. Sanitary Grocery Co., was the first case decided by the United States Supreme Court to recognize symbolic speech. Later, the Court recognized symbolic speech as a constitutionally protected right. This case was decided in 1937 - Alpha Phi Alpha was part of this momentous legal victory because of Lawson. Lawson and his supporters preferred a more direct attack on Plessy than that being pursued by Houston, Marshall and the NAACP. Plessy was a case where a fair skinned Black Louisiana man was forced to sit separately, pursuant to a state statute, from Whites while riding on a train.

The concept of Separate but Equal as decided in a transportation case but it was then extrapolated to all areas of human interaction, including higher education. By 1942, Lawson thought it was time to directly confront Plessy. With the financial backing from Alpha Phi Alpha, Lawson thought he had found the case to directly confront Plessy.

Elmer Henderson, a Black man, worked for the Federal Government. His job required him to travel from Washington, D.C. to Georgia. As was the practice of Southern Railway during this time, a single table was set-aside for Blacks in the dining car. During his trip, the one table was not sufficient to accommodate all of the Blacks on the train who wanted to eat. Henderson was not fed. He sued. The practice pursued by Southern Railway in feeding Blacks traveling interstate was approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission, a federal agency.

This was the case Lawson had been waiting for. It was, like Plessy, a transportation case and racial discrimination was being directly condoned by a federal agency in violation of the Interstate Commerce Act, a federal statute, and the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution.

It took eight long years before the U.S. Supreme Court finally ruled on Henderson. Again, the Court decided a Lawson case on statutory grounds rather than on Constitutional law grounds.

The Court in Henderson struck down Southern Railway's policy of separating diners by race in its dining car.

The Court determined that the Railway's policy violated the Interstate Commerce Act and thereby ducked the more thorny issue of whether the policy violated the Separate but Equal doctrine as defined by Plessy. But again, Lawson, with Alpha Phi Alpha's financial support, scored another legal breakthrough.

The Court had implicitly decided that Separate but Equal was not legally supported in interstate travel.

ATTITL.-Pt

BELFORD V. LAWSON In 1954, Lawson's victory in Henderson would finally be given constitutional law status, in Brown v. Board of Education. When the student bus rides were taken in the 1960s, it was the Henderson ruling that allowed federal authorities protect the riders when they were attacked by southern bigots.

Lawson assumed the general presidency of Alpha Phi Alpha in 1946. He held that post until 1951. During his tenure as general president he involved the Fraternity in the support of Alpha Brothers who were being persecuted by the federal government as either Communists or fellow travelers of Communists. One such Brother was Paul Robeson. In 1946, at the Fraternity's December convention Robeson was the main speaker. He condemned the role of the United States government in providing loans, credits and guns to colonial governments for the purpose of continued subjugation of colored peoples. Robeson was both at the zenith of his career but he was also condemned by many at being at least a Communist sympathizer.

Lastly in 1951, DuBois was indicted for failing to register with the Justice Department as a foreign agent. The indictment flowed from his activities with an organization called the Peace Information Center. The indictments were frivolous and intended to intimidate DuBois from his continued questioning of American domestic and foreign policy. In defending himself, DuBois found himself in dire financial straits. Efforts were made to raise money to assist DuBois' legal defense. When others deserted DuBois' efforts because of their fear of retaliation by the federal government, Lawson, along with Robeson, invoked the good name of Alpha Phi Alpha and sponsored a fundraising dinner for DuBois. The dinner was held at Small's Paradise in New York City and it raised over $6,500.00 for DuBois' legal defense fund. DuBois was subsequently exonerated of all charges.

The contributions of individual Alphamen to the betterment of the Black American condition are truly noteworthy.

The names are well known to every Alphaman and each resonates great pride within the Brotherhood. But no Brother stands taller in his efforts to make our Fraternity live up to it's responsibilities in this regard than Belford V. Lawson. He not only brought to himself personal glory, but he made it possible for the rest of his Brothers to share his glory by simply being a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

25TH ANNIVERSARY CONVENTION NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA AUGUST 3,

2001

"The General Convention, the highest, most powerful, most elite, most esteemed, most sophisticated gathering of fraternal intelligentsia ever to gather between four designated walls anywhere at anytime, for any reason," said Brother Joseph Byrd, as he began his introduction of our 31st General President, Harry Johnson, Sr. during the opening Session of the 95th Anniversary Convention. At the opening session, Brother Joseph Byrd delivered an introduction of Brother Johnson, which could only be categorized as oratorical brilliance. Brother Byrd's, "We Found Somebody" introduction was preceded by and certainly verified by the General Presidents State of the Fraternity Address.

rothers it is a privilege and a High Honor for me to stand before you, the Brothers of the 95th General Convention as your General President. To the Distinguished Past General Presidents who have been so supportative of my administration, to the Board of Directors who are stellar in performing their duties in representing you, to the Delegates and Brothers of this Fraternity, I bring you Greetings.

It is my sad duty before I proceed to inform all of you assembled that on last Tuesday we conducted The Omega Services for our Senior Past General President, Brother T. Winston Cole. My gratitude to all of the Past General President's who journeyed to Gainesville, Florida and to the Brothers of Nu Eta Lambda Chapter and Eta Lambda for their support to the Cole Family. Brothers, I ask that you keep them in your prayers and at this time, I would like to observe a moment of silence in memory of Brother Cole.

Ninety-five years seems like a mighty, mighty, long time and it is, if you are not doing anything. But if you have been in the vineyards working like Alpha Phi Alpha and all of our Brothers then 95 years is but a smitence of time that passes as though it were the speed of sound or the flash of fight.

Ninety-five years is not a long time when you have had the excellent leadership of: • The 25th General President James R. Williams, • The 26th General President Ozell Sutton,

The 27th General President Charles C. Teamer, Sr. The 28th General President Henry Ponder The 29th General President Milton C. Davis, The 30th and Immediate Past General President, Adrian L. Wallace Now, in this era of an Alpha Attitude, we in Alpha are still committed to being first and the finest, best and the brightest and being what out founders laid out when they chartered our course in 1906.

To have a Fraternity consisting of men who make a difference, men who place their family and community first, men who have stellar values, men who do not sit back and watch things happen, nor men who sit back guessing what could happen, but men who make things happen, I am proud and excited to be your General President.

An Alpha man is a man who takes pride in everything that he does, the way that he dresses, walks, talks and the way that you TCB, take care of business.

Our Pride seems to glisten, our chest seems to pop a button or two whenever an Alpha Man, no matter who he is, achieves a high pinnacle in his career or chosen vocation.

We cannot help but be proud, when we hear the names of such Alpha's as Cornell West, who will be our College Brothers Luncheon Speaker, or The Honorable Ron Dellums, who will keynote our Fraternal/MLK Luncheon in a few hours or Bob Wright who will speak at the Economic Development

STATE OF THE FRATERNITY ADDRESS Luncheon on Monday Lest we forget that on Sunday, Joe Rathff one of America's Ten Best Preachers, will be our Speaker and if that were not enough, during the public program, some of Alpha's glistening stars will be on hand to receive the Alpha Award of Merit, our highest honor bestowed.

On Saturday, we will begin our day with an outreach project. During that project, we will install Air Conditioner Units in the homes of some citizens of this great city.

For those that cannot journey with us, there will be a health screening set up for you to be tested for h i g h blood presser, prostate cancer and other life threaten conditions that face African Americans. Then on Monday, will once again bear witness to our Political Action Forum II. "THE FIRST EIGHT MONTHS" A CRUST OF BREAD AND A CORNER TO SLEEP IN, A MINUTE TO SMILE AND HOUR TO WEEP IN, A PINT OF JOY TO A PECK OF TROUBLE, AND NEVER A LAUGH BUT THE MOANS COME DOUBLE; AND THAT IS LIFE! I can say, unequivocally, that is not the life in Alpha at this time, and it has not been over the course of these past eight months. If I had to guess as to why not, I would simply say

because I believe and feel that most if not all in Alpha have received that ALPHA ATTITUDE. It has been my belief that if we do more for brothers, then we can expect more from brothers. If you show a Brother love and kindness, you are more apt to get the same in return.

If you take away most, if not all, simple complaints, then we can get down to the business of ALPHA. I am pleased with the Staff at 2313 St. Paul Street. I am appreciative for Brother Gregory Phillips, who had the faith in me and courage to take a leave of absence from his job to help me in this first eight months in office. I am sure that you will agree with me that Brother Phillips has done a fine job.

In comparing our staff to that of a year ago, we are still shorthanded. And in fact, we are three people less than we had one year ago and eight people less than what we had five years ago. The fact that we are still able to function and produce is not only phenomenal, it is dedication.

Would you please join me in a show of support to our Staff (Sergeant-at-Arms allow the staff to enter).

If you feel like I do, it is a joy to hear a live voice answer the phones when you call. If you feel like I do, it is nice to receive your books, pins and shingles without having to beg for them. If you feel like I do, it feels even better to get a birthday card, on you Birthday, from the General President and staff. Brothers, we have a staff that has the dedication and wear with all, to stand in times of trouble and to give Service ...not Excuses.

Many of you received the Value Added Services booklet a few months ago. It contained a comprehensive list of Partner's who not only want to do business with Alpha Men, they want to give you discounts as you purchase their products.

Over this next year, it is my hope that the list shall include rebates for mortgage loans, cars and other consumer items. It

If you have obtained your 25th or 50th year in our Dear Alpha Phi Alpha, then no longer do you have to write and ask for you certificate. It will be our pleasure, as we give you Service not Excuses, to mail it before you have to ask for it.

Because, I know that you have an Alpha Attitude, we have produced only for you, special frames to place your shingles in. We are also in the process of scanning into our computers, the signatures of many of our Past General President's and will be glad to sell you a replacement shingle for that brand new frame.

Because, I know that you have an Alpha Attitude, we have restocked the Alpha shop with exclusive items that no other vendor can or will have.

Because, I know that you have an Alpha Attitude, we have instituted a chapter rebate program that allows us to give back to your chapters, $25.00's, for simply reclaiming inactive Brothers. Now Brothers, you can sit down if you want, but trust me, many chapters are receiving their checks.

Because, I know that you have an Alpha Attitude, it is my intention to debut next year a College Brothers Edition of our Sphinx Magazine.

I am pleased to announce that dur-ing the acceptance of that award, I had the pleasure to inform more than 2000 guest that because of Alpha Phi Alpha, more than 500 African Ameri-can young men were placed with Big Brothers. The greatness of Alpha continues.

Whenever I read the history book and some editions of our Sphinx Magazines, I am always taken back and astonished by the men who made Alpha History.

In fact, I enjoyed very much speaking with The Honorable Julian Bond, the Chairman of the NAACP after his speech at their convention. During his speech he made reference to the fact that an Alpha Chapter in Baton Rouge gave some money to help with a boycott during the Civil Rights struggle.

I then had an Alpha moment, (we all have those) and began to tell Mr. Bond of the many things and the many

STATE OF THE FRATERNITY ADDRESS Brothers of Alpha that played a role in the Civil Rights movement. So, the other day I was re-reading an article concerning the Pullman car case. The article mentioned the Lawyers who signed the petition; the names were hke a walk back in time.

They listed the names of Thurgood Marshall, Charles Houston, Sidney Jones and Belford V. Lawson, and then it said, also listed was the name of Edward R. Brooke, address unknown.

Alpha men have always stepped forward and taken the lead In fact, Jewell Henry Arthur Callis said,'Tt is Alpha Phi Alpha's duty to train men for Leadership".

It is once again our time to take the lead, Brothers, with this dreadful disease called AID's. You have to agree with me, that had any of the European Country's been affected hke Black Africa has been, with innocent babies dying at the rate of 3 an hour, new infections at the rate of five per hour; young girls being raped because of the pervasive thought that if you have sex with a Virgin it will cure the disease, we would have to tell those Governments, and ours, not only to stop selling the medication, but to stop giving it away.

We must again step forward. Our communities, our families, our son's and daughter's are crying out for the need of Alpha Leadership. Alpha Phi Alpha must, and should be first of the Greek Letter organizing to step up and to save our communities. With all of the compassionate conservatism and faith-based programs, it has again fallen on Alpha to make a

difference and because you have an Alpha Attitude, I know that you will.

The Martin Luther King Memorial Project continues to be our focal point for the next few years. Many of you know that I have made my way to our Foundation Office on more than one occasion. I am convinced that we are on the right track. Under the leadership of Brother Ed Jackson, we are preparing to get the design that won the competition approved by the Three Over sight Commission's. We are ready to fully staff that office with Fund Development Personnel and we are to raise the remainder of the funds necessary to build this Memorial.

The Congressional Black Caucus reception, will once again be held in Washington DC. Our renowned reception will take place this year at the Renaissance Washington, D.C. Hotel.

I am asking many of you to show up and wear your colors as we walk Capital Hill and support our Brothers in Congress.

As I conclude, I say Stand Tall Brothers for what is right! Continue to let the light of Alpha Shine so that all may see!

Let us be the Alpha men that our Beloved Jewels dreamed of!!!

Let us be the Standard bearer of Excellence and Achievement!

May God Bless each of you. And may He continue to allow us to hold ever aloft noble ideals and aims carrying out earths and heavens grand command.

COLLEGE BROTHERS LUNCHEON

ALPHA UNIVERSITY:

rother Cornel West delivered an earth shaking speech that once again proves that he is still one of the smartest men in this country. In a spell binding address to a packed audience of College and Alumni Brothers alike, Brother Dr. Cornel West proffered a spellbinding analysis of the current state of affairs Brother Cornel West for Africans in the Diaspora.

Peering out at an audience of arguably the most intelligent men in the Western hemisphere, Brother West extolled the virtues of membership in Alpha Phi Alpha, but cautioned Brothers not to rest on their laurels when it comes to the civil and human rights issues of the twenty-first century. "Alpha Phi Alpha men must never forget about what Dr. (Martin Luther) King called the 'fierce urgency of now," proclaimed Brother West to a sold out crowd of Brothers. True to form, Brother West also admonished Anglo-Americans to recognize America's history of discrimination and inequality, or face the repercussions of a disenfranchised but growing segment of American society.

lpha University had two backto-back sessions.

Some classes were standing room only and others were so packed that another class had to be scheduled. Afterwards, Alpha University classes convened with 14 courses. Even our partners Project Alpha Participants from Black Enterprise held a wealth buildingfinancialplanning class. Alpha University has changed the scope of the convention. The training provided is useful for all Brothers on all levels. Alpha University also held a Project Alpha demonstration workshop at the General Convention in New Orleans. Led by Brother John L. Colbert, the Project Alpha Faculty conducted a very successful program not only training the Brothers attending the convention but also provided a vital community service project to the youth of New Orleans. Brother Josh Williams and the host Brothers provided tremendous support. The fourteen young men attending were outstanding young leaders and will carry the message of male responsibility back to the community.

EASTERN SIGMA CHAPTER

Boston University / Northeastern University Boston, MA n Boston University's Photonics Center, the Brothers of Sigma Chapter hosted it's annual memorial program commemorating the anniversary of slain chapter Brother and civil rights leader Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 's assassination. In recent years, the chapter has been fortunate enough to have scholars of Brother King, as well as one of his fellow initiates, contribute insight about who he was and the message that he proclaimed. In spring 1999, the Chapter welcomed back fellow Sigma chapter initiate H rman Hemmingway (Spring 1952). This spring, recognizing that Bro. King will soon be the only African-American to have a memorial on the National Mall that is dedicated in his honor, we welcomed the Eastern Regional Director for fundraising efforts, Brother Erik Cliette. Brother Cliett spoke to a large collegiate audience about the history of the project, the symbolism behind its likeness and fundraising efforts. He also provided key information as to how we, the collegiate community, can get involved with fundraising efforts. "Organize yourselves. Look beyond racial lines and appeal to the various student groups on your campus. Tell them that you are taking the initiative to raise money for the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. memorial project. You can even appeal to your College or University as well as the faculty and staff. If you mobilize (other student and community groups) you, your group, your Fraternity or sorority chapter can help to make a difference." Brother Cliett went on to say that this was the first time that anyone working with the memorial project targeted a collegiate audience. In bringing the program to a close, Chapter President, Brother Onaje Crawford, acting on behalf of the Chapter, presented Brother Cliett with a $200 check for the memorial project.

ALPHA ATTITUDE: A FORWARD STEP...INTO T H E FUTURE

THE SPHINX速 SUMMER 2001

TWENTY-FIRST GENERAL PRESIDENT (1915-2001) Excerpt from the Report of the 21st General President During Fifty-Seventh Anniversary Convention August I6th-22nd, 1963 THE ROLE OF ALPHA PHI ALPHA FRATERNITY IN THE SECOND CENTURY OF PROGRESS Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha:

T

he Greeks of old were very much interested in matters of the intellect; and it was this same society of highly developed people which coined the phrase, "Know Thyself," and, Brothers, let me remind you that it is not so much how far you go, as what you see. It is not so much how much you see, as what you learn from what you see. It is not so much how much you learn, as what you do with what you learn from what you see. So then, in the final analysis, the important factor is knowing and applying that knowledge effectively.

The purpose of the Seminars, as I have told you in the introduction of the program for tomorrow, is to have us become aware of the problems and issues of modern day America; and, to find, or if necessary, to make a place for our-selves in the areas of our choices.

But even before we can safely embark on this journey into the Second Century of Freedom, we must "Know Ourselves."

In the first place, I would feel that we must know and love and appreciate Alpha's traditions, her purposes, her philosophy. This knowledge, I feel, provides us with the insight to see the facets which go to make up our organization. Alpha, it seems to me, is on the brink of developing a brotherhood within a brotherhood. Not only is there a widening of natural interests of graduate members of our organization as opposed to undergraduate members of our organization but there is a growing suspicion and hostihty of one group for the other. As I see it, this situation must not be permitted to develop. The undergraduate is younger and less experienced, perhaps, than his older brother; but non-the-less, an "Alpha Man"; and an important part of the fiber of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. In fact, this group is our lifeline; and unless we plan for the Second Century of Freedom with this group in a dominant role, we plan with utter futility. The time inevitably comes when the old soldier becomes weary; and this is why the father welcomes a son born to his union; but if that son begins to feel unwanted or perhaps which is worse, unneeded in his own home, he may grow bitter and resentful; and the possibility of his growth degenerates into a sullen apathy; and the old warrior finds at the close of his day of leadership, when the mantle drops from his grasp, that the son whom he has neglected, whom he has not inspired, whose interest he has not needed, felt no affection; and worse of all, has already dissipated his strength and his interest or moved away to groups in which he feels that he is accepted fully on the basis of his own worth and is no longer interested in the old warrior's dream. So, the gauntlet lies unheeded as it drops to the dust from the old warrior's grasp. Only to the young belongs the distant future; and come what may, they will one day sink or swim, survive or perish, only to the degree that they have felt the warmth of true brotherhood. As your General President, I call this group to our attention as we attempt to know ourselves and to gird our loins for the struggles ahead of us. Undergraduate Brothers, yes; but Brothers non-the-less. When we grip your hand in the Alpha fashion, that grip carries with it all of our love, our appreciation, our dedication. We, all, want to recognize your presence within the "House of Alpha." Your General President asks that you show us how we can do it best.

Secondly, my brothers in Alpha, to know ourselves, there must be a closing of the ranks; and when we call a man "Brother" in Alpha, it must mean that, for I would remind you, a house divided against itself cannot stand. The nostalgic remembering and repeating of what has been, though interesting, is not sufficient for the days ahead; and such a luxury we as Negroes cannot afford.

As "Men of Alpha," we must look not to the illustrious and great Alpha men of the past, and great they were and are; but rather to the development of those same qualities in the potentially great Alpha Men of the future.

- Brother T. Winston Cole
