... Read moreAlpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. holds the distinction of being the first intercollegiate African-American Greek-lettered fraternity, founded in 1906 at Cornell University. This fraternity has played a pivotal role in advancing academic excellence, social advocacy, and civil rights for African-American men. The pictorial history titled "In Our Dear A Phi A" uniquely offers a visual and narrative journey through the lives of its Founders and General Presidents, some of whom have been captured through rare or previously unpublished photographs. These treasured images, along with carefully curated narratives, provide not only historical facts but also personal insights into the fraternity’s leadership and evolution. Integral to the book’s authority are contributions from Dr. Robert L. Harris, Jr., a General Historian & Contributor, whose extensive scholarship on African-American fraternities provides context and depth. Additionally, the foreword by Dr. Willis L. Lonzer III, a prominent General President, highlights the fraternity’s ongoing legacy and the continuous impact of its leaders. Understanding the history of Alpha Phi Alpha through this pictorial lens offers readers a deeper appreciation for the fraternity’s commitment to scholarship, leadership, and service. It emphasizes how its founders and presidents have shaped the organization's mission and its enduring influence on communities nationwide. For Alpha Brothers and enthusiasts of African-American history and culture, this book is an invaluable resource that preserves and celebrates the fraternity’s remarkable journey over more than a century.
