Did you make any resolutions; did you accomplish all of them? Did everything go just as you had planned the whole year? The year in review had joy and pain; it had sweetness and sorrow. Yes, there were tragedies; but there were also many acts of kindness and many victories. As we enter into 2016, you probably have already made your New Year’s resolutions. Or perhaps, like me, you will be trying to complete some of your resolutions from 2015. We make many plans about what we want to accomplish this year or improve from the previous year – losing weight; being more organized; being more active in the chapter; being on time; being more loving, and the list goes on and on. While we may make plans and resolutions, Proverbs 16:9 says: “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” We don’t know what 2016 holds for us, but we do know who holds the year and who cares for us. We know who is right there with us no matter what we are going through or what we are trying to accomplish. So as you make your plans and your resolutions for 2016, consider this resolution: LOVE – not only to love God but to love others as well (Matthew 22: 36-40) and meditate on these verses: “And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13 “Do everything in love.” 1 Corinthians 16:14 “Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.” 1 Peter 3:8 So my sisters, let’s make a resolution to keep love on board in 2016 and make it a great year! 5 INSPIRATION submitted by Soror Toni Carter Pearson, Spirit and Inspiration Committee THE VICTORY OF THE WOMAN WHO DARES This is the era of the woman who dares. Her opportunity has blossomed out of conditions unparalleled in history. Too many women plod along in a furrow, afraid to come out of the rut. They live, it is true, but they have not grasped the success that awaits them. The woman has higher motives than mere existence, and an unbending promise from God. Business, commerce, government, politics demand a woman who dares. The eyes of the world turn toward the inscription, “I will,” on the banner of the woman who dares, as she hurdles across obstacles and brings virtue back to its pedestal. Hers is the initiative; to her belong the rewards of efficiency. The power that drives her is dynamic. She has no hand held out behind for bribes, nor before for offerings. She builds her castle with hope and cements its walls with enduring faith in her God-given powers, and anchors it with good works. When life’s fitful fever is over, and she has accomplished all she can, according to her gifts, talents, and ability, she lets a feeling of peace steal over her, and trusts in God for the rest. Be a woman who dares. January 2016 Volume 16 | Issue 1 6 DECEMBER PROGRAMS EXECUTED TO PEARL-FECTION! Tea roses, pearls, and more are what you deserve for the outstanding execution of the December programs. The Family Strengthening Committee held two gift-wrapping parties to wrap 25 kids’ coats for the children at Community Lodgings Brent Place Learning Center. In addition, the committee wrapped 150 pashmina scarves and 50 cashmere wool scarves for senior citizens attending the Senior Citizens Holiday Luncheon. The Bent Place children were full of smiles seeing their new coats, and the senior citizens could not stop talking about how much fun they had at the Senior Citizens Holiday Luncheon and how much they loved their seasonal wrap gifts.

Span, Chair Professor James D. Anderson Associate Professor Yoon K. Pak Associate Professor Linda M. Perkins, Claremont Graduate University ii Abstract The period known as the “nadir” of the African American experience—roughly between 1880 and 1920—happens to coincide with the matriculation of the first African American students at the predominantly white University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign (U of I). Most research conducted on the African American student experience at the U of I focuses on the Civil Rights-Black Power years, but few studies have examined the experiences of the earliest students—specifically African American women students—during the early twentieth century. These women created and sustained their own organizations—Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Gamma Chapter, and later, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Alpha Nu Chapter—to address the educational, social, and cultural needs of African American women students on campus. In conjunction with African American male students, they established a Negro Intelligentsia lecture series, along with an African American student magazine, The College Dreamer, to promote African American culture on campus and to showcase the intellectual achievements of African American students across the country.

  • Complex Civil Rights Organizations: Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, an Exemplar
    COMPLEX CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS: ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY, AN EXEMPLAR Gregory S. Parks,† Rashawn Ray,‡ and Shawna M. Patterson* The narrative about African American organizations and their role in Blacks’ quest for social equality and civil rights in the United States is often a conventional one. Traditional civil rights organizations take center stage, with the efforts that they made and make, as well as the model that they employed and continue to employ, being the exemplar. Take, for example, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (“NAACP”). After the civil war, a number of groups and movements attempted to organize and ensure franchise for African Americans.1 From this collection of independent and sometimes fragmented enterprises rose the Niagara group, which held “strategic mass meetings and annual conventions.”2 Simultaneously, a small group of Whites who were concerned with the racial riots of the early 1900s organized a meeting in New York, which began the organization of the future NAACP.3 That group, led by Mary White Ovington and English Walling, sought a larger conference with the Niagara group led by W.E.B. Du Bois.4 The first conference was held on May 30, 1909.5 Within a year, the group was incorporated in New York as the NAACP, with the five incorporators—W.E.B. Du Bois, Oswald Villard, 6 Walter Sachs, John Haynes Holmes, and Mary Ovington. Much like the NAACP, the National Urban League (NUL) had its roots in several turn of the century organizations. 7 Groups like the † Assistant Professor of Law, Wake Forest University School of Law.
