On January 16th at 6:06 p.m., students, faculty and members of the community gathered on the plot of the Beta Epsilon Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. to celebrate the life of The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Fraternity members read exerts from King’s teachings and works. The program allowed the audience to contribute to the program. Audience members provided musical selections, spoken word, scriptures and prayers. The Beta Epsilon Chapter shared their experiences having visited the King Memorial and participating in ceremonies in Atlanta. “I learned that there was so much more profound information that the classrooms and books leave out,” said Malcolm Brooks. “By walking into the doors of Ebeneezer Baptist Church, I experienced a spiritual renewal having steped foot in the very church that he preached at. I encourage every one to seek and obtain knowledge of our history for ourselves and to spread to others.” The fraternity also announced their own contribution to Dr. King’s memorial in Washington, D.C., which included a monetary donation and a brick that includes the chapters’ name. King was a memeber of the Alpha Phi Alpha Inc., fraternity.
