President-elect what do you make of this controversy oh you know I love Steve Harvey and I respect for Steve Harvey and I think his intentions were accurate or inappropriate rather but but my disagreement is the way in which he’s being used by folk like Donald Trump

Life but it ain’t about how hard you hit it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward how much you can take they keep moving forward that’s how winning is done hey it’s temporary it may last for a minute or an hour or a day or even a year And something else will take his place go seven young men founded a brotherhood committed to the cause of freedom today over 125,000 members strong the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha continue this fight w eb des bois Jesse Owens Duke Ellington Edward Brooke Thurgood Marshall Andrew Young and Martin Luther King jr. are
Among the countless Alpha men who have dedicated their lives to scholarship manly deeds and love for all mankind the history of these men is the history of America and their place and the vanguard of African American progress is unparalleled this is the story of Alpha Phi Alpha century of leadership
When most of us think of attorneys these images come back but there’s much more they develop leaders promote Brotherhood academic excellence and calling services this is truly out the bow opportunity incorporated and one man in particular dr. Martin Luther King jr. while we were process of organizing our pledge group
We were informed that there was going to be a theology major so we were intimidated hope we’re not gonna be able to have as much fun it was thanks to Alpha Phi Alpha that I met Martin Luther King I was general secretary of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity one of our
Initiatives was the 50th anniversary of the president’s charity he wasn’t very well known at that moment but when he finished talking that Sunday afternoon to that Bank audience everybody know who dr. King was when we got through hi I’m Hill Harper and it’s been 60 years since global human rights icon
Dr. Martin Luther King jr. answered the call and became part of the pioneering brotherhood of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity incorporated after over a century of activism and leadership the fraternity stands tall as our brother is forever immortalized with the Martin Luther King jr. memorial tonight in this beatty news special you
Will hear the untold story of dr. King’s life as an alpha by alpha brother and how our pioneering brother had helped him launch the first battles of the Civil Rights movie one is worn with the bobby pin now come over here with the one and only mr. Rowland Martin how are
You I’m doing good great I see your hair i howard the mecca rocking out you’re the president me out so I’m glad to hang out with him and see lots of friends out here so I having a good time lutely I overheard you talking a little trash what makes Alpha the number one
Fraternity easy we were the first and we are the first black collegiate Greek letter organization everybody come out to us they all end up with imitators and so as I tell them alphas all y’all daddy I believe in the givenness I believe in trying to work with people it was gonna
Be hard I’m very difficult I don’t see this president-elect has a legitimate president you do not consider an illegitimate president why is that I think the Russians participated and happened this man get elected and they have destroyed the candidacy or Hillary Clinton When I walk through that door dr. King said oh you’re the boy from Troy are you John Lewis and I said dr. King I am John Robert Lewis so from that moment on he started calling me the boy from Troy one of the most courageous persons of the civil rights
Movement Congressman John Lewis has dedicated his life to protecting human rights securing civil liberties and building what he calls the Beloved Community in America we had to march Selma was a place for people who could not register to vote PIPA has stood in unmovable I was a tremendous amount of Troopers and men continue to walk I had a concussion that debris I thought I saw death I thought it was going to die look at the real giant and our fraternity more than days you think of John Lewis who almost there is life on more than one occasion right this
Living legend never forgets his Sigma roots and returns at every opportunity to embrace the brotherhood at conventions and conferences Age 38 in a history book in the building of the organizational plan see what was the biggest thinking about that’s what was the [ __ ] thinkin because you gonna sit up in 1904 just got your ass whipped in reconstruction just had Africa divide it up before your very eyes
Colonial eyes doctor but just after the fake Emancipation Civil War slavery and some still in slavery you can’t be in a white toilet you can eat it a white restaurant this is [ __ ] 54 years before Rosa Parks do you understand what we’re we’re we talk about you got to
Lean way over to go green TV net so somebody had to tell you about them you couldn’t even read a bottle you can see that about him again on the mouth there was no TV and no radio in 1904 so you talk about you’ve all set yourself up
Like tenets of skull and bones and yeah you better believe somebody and around this boule and we checking on this history of Minton may have been a Skull and Bones the Yale is damn self in the building of the organization plan reliance was placed upon Greek history
And tradition seem bigger tell you tests and things in that I say they look hey in the paternity and sorority thing hey don’t really greet the dog like African on the slide this really African organizational plan reliance was placed on Greek history so when you comfort
Them they go swear it ain’t a Greek thing and you’re gonna tell us a lot senior thing and I know your thing is Greek from the jump and no subordinate boule Archon can ever deviate from the structure and the guidelines laid down by people in the organization higher
Than them so when you’re in a hierarchy you are control from the top down the bottom could be honest people but they must do what the top teller that’s the deal paintings with Western civilization although Greek culture had relations with the culture of the Orient holding them seem like they skipped over
Somebody let me go back you see this might not just be an affirmation of Greek but this is a denial of Africa this is more than just I’m for this this is I must not even recognize any other participating on a member of this fraternity at what it stands for the
Principles I think that this is a very significant day of my life and development and growth is one thing when you serve alone it’s another when you serve as a part of a family and feel that I have submerged with a ocean rather than they made the single drop
And let us serve and flood together these forces develop negative and therefore all that is good No justice they just kept sloppy as organizers at the 50th anniversary of the march on Washington the National Action Network assembled more than 250,000 in Washington DC to call on Congress to work towards the fulfillment of dr. King’s dream for jobs and justice welcome one of our true heroes a man who
Needs no introduction the man who’s gonna fire us up the man who is the president the National Action Network [Applause] they fought you rather Sharpton is humble to be part of the 100 year old fraternity Participating on what it stands for in the front seat I think that this is a very very his voice is heard around the world as he makes no apology is for the truth fiant uncompromising compassionate five Beta Sigma Fraternity at its centennial gala celebration is proud to present Reverend
Al Sharpton the Founders Day Service Award my 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is staying true to his word on the national anthem last night he again refused to stand for the anthem before preseason game in San Diego this time though he was not alone Carter Evans is at Qualcomm Stadium where the
Game was played Carter good morning good morning this time a fellow player also refused to stand now this was a silent protest but it was amplified here because San Diego is a big military town still Kaepernick says he is not going to stand up and show pride for a country
That he says oppresses people of color while the national anthem played Colin Kaepernick knelt on one knee joined this time by safety Eric breathe we came up with taking the knee to try to show more respect to the men and women that fight for this country What do you do it I think those are very valid points a Kaepernick has to play extremely well in order for San Francisco you know he’s played here but you know he’s a member of Kappa Alpha side you will see that we have in fact cracked a
Riddle that has contained our people our people have been contained by an organized element of secret people who have used riddles mysteries and secret societies to Jamis and what we are doing is we are unlocking or D codifying the mystery because once D codified and expose those who are secret in the light
Will not be as effective which must be on goal this liberation is not there you can’t liberate as a Greek you can’t liberate in the name of Greece
