As Ithink about the past achieve¬ ments of Mu Lambda chapter and our beloved fraternity, Ican’t help but ponder our history as it relates to the development of African Americans in the 20th century. Most recently, the passing of Bro. Thurgood Marshall, who received-significant support from Alpha Phi Alpha during the Civil Rights era, typifies the impact we have made in our community.
As is customary with each annual observance of African American History, it is important that we review our compass and determine where we are today, and where we are going.
Appropriately, we are in the plan¬ ning/programming stage of aspecial event on Capitol Hill with our Freshman Alpha Congressman, as arranged by Bro. Sam Thornton.
