Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.

Description

Alpha Phi Alpha (ΑΦΑ) is the first Black, inter-collegiate Greek-lettered fraternity. It was founded on December 4, 1906 at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Alpha Phi Alpha evolved into primarily a service organization and provided leadership and service during the Great Depression, World Wars, and Civil Rights Movements. It addresses social issues such as apartheid, AIDS, urban housing, and other economic, cultural, and political issues of interest to people of color. The Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial and World Policy Council are programs of Alpha Phi Alpha. Dr. King is from Atlanta and he left his mark on this great nation and the world. Many people do not know that Dr. King was an Alpha Man, so we dedicate this custom bow tie our native son.
