On Brotherhood

July 28-30, 2006. This weekend the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. celebrated 100 years of brotherhood, scholarship, leadership, and service. These four principles upon which this organization was founded continue to be the hallmark of our existence even as we enter into the next century. The experiences shared with my brothers these past few days serves as proof-positive confirmation that I made the correct choice for my life years ago.

My first road trip with my Personals.
