Wanna See Something Cool? Pic of Martin Luther King, Jr. the day he crossed ALPHA PHI ALPHA FRATERNITY, INC!

Bro. Martin Luther King, Jr., (bottom far right)

Boston University

Sigma Chapter

Line #5

Spring 1952

May 13, 1952


I have been searching for a picture of my frat brother, MLK, in a picture with paraphnelia on or just throwing up the sign or something and I finally found one. Then I emailed some of my chapter's brothers for more information conerning him and Alpha. So my bro, Parker, replied with all of the info about where and when he crossed. I said I gotta post it!

Look at these brothers! They are clean! Bro. King had to be like 18 when he crossed. Look at 'em cheesin.' He looks so excited! Wow! I feel so proud right now, just knowing that he and I have something so dear to us in common. It means a lot to me to know that Alpha has impacted our lives and had a big hand in grooming us to be the men we've come to be. Absolutely amazing!

Looking at Bro. MLK smile so proudly makes me recollect the feelings I had when I crossed. Sharing something so dear to me with the man who, without a doubt, is one of the main reasons African Americans are accepted the way we are today is just...uplifting!

To be an Alpha Man!

Definitely cheesin' LOL. Great pic. I watched Stomp The Yard (for the first time) last week and the film showed where MLK had pledged - something unknown to me, beforehand.

Back when I attended an HBCU (I never graduated), your frat was one of the more popular ones. Mad props.
