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.

    1908 – 1933 Year Month/Day Occurrence 1908 January 15 First meeting of the Sorority takes place. It is given a name – Alpha Kappa Alpha – and a motto, “By Culture and By Merit.” The colors, apple green and salmon pink, are chosen. February Seven sophomores are invited to join the Sorority. Alpha Kappa Alpha now has 16 members, who will come to be known as the Founders. 1908- Alpha Kappa Alpha (Alpha Chapter) exists solely on the Howard University campus and experiences 1913 steady growth. 1909 February 11 In Miner Hall, Alpha Kappa Alpha’s first ritualistic initiation is held. The new members are Ella Albert Brown, Mary Clifford, Lena Jenkins, Mable Gibson, Ruth Gilbert and Nellie Pratt Russell. February Following concern over American race relations, which was heightened by the 1908 Illinois race riots, Black and white progressives and intellectuals convene in New York City to discuss the issue, resulting in formation of the NAACP. 1910 September The National Urban League is formed in New York City, born of a merger of the National League for the Protection of Colored Women, National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes and the Niagara Movement. 1911 Spring Norma Boyd becomes the first to serve 2 terms as Alpha Chapter Basileus. 1912 Autumn Some members of the Sorority attempt to change its name, colors and motto. Nellie Quander, believing that these traditions were essential to the long-term success of the organization, contacts every active member and wins almost unanimous support. The disgruntled members go on to found Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. 1913 January 29 Alpha Kappa Alpha is legally incorporated in Washington DC.

In this issue: The year 2020 is the beginning of not only a new year, but a new decade faced with fresh perspectives, Upcoming events endless possibilities and enhanced purpose. Omega Omega has the ability to create a brighter tomorrow Excellence Program for the disenfranchised, the oppressed, and the voiceless globally. When I think of 2020, vision comes to my mind. As a child I boasted of having 20/20 vision and not having to wear glasses. I knew students who would try to memorize the Snellen chart just to be able to claim the coveted 20/20 vision. This is a term used to express normal visual acuity (the clarity or sharpness of vision) measured at a distance of 20 feet. Vision, as a noun, is sight and, as a verb, is envision and both are useful definitions as we expand our outreach and strengthen our bonds of sisterhood. Our founders had a vision fair 112 years ago that was clear and concise to ensure our perpetuity and to improve the quality of life for all mankind. As we completed our end of the year reports and prepare our awards books, reflections of 2019 must propel us to ask questions. What do we see with 20/20 vision? How can we improve our vision and what resources will it take? What is our vision and what role do each of us play in that collective vision? Do we see Service with 20/20 vision? Do we see Membership with 20/20 vision? Do we see Connection with 20/20 vision? This same question can be applied to every committee and aspect of Omega Omega.
