Description
by Judson L. Jeffries (Editor)
Highlighting 21 members of this illustrious historically Black fraternity
Omega
Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., was founded in 1911 at Howard University to
cultivate and nurture a generation of leaders who would work toward
racial uplift and influence American society. In an unprecedented two
volumes, Judson Jeffries brings together original works on 21 of the
fraternity's accomplished and influential members. Written by a diverse
group of scholars, these profiles highlight the national importance of
these figures in their chosen fields of endeavor as well as the enormous
impact of this great fraternity.
Volume 2
discusses Brigadier General Charles Young; artist and activist Charlotte "Lottie" Wilson, affectionately considered the fraternity's lone female member; modern civil
rights activists T.R.M. Howard, Bayard Rustin, Lawrence Guyot, Jesse L.
Jackson, and Emory O. Jackson; and scholars Lewis V. Baldwin, Asa Grant
Hilliard III, and Benjamin E. Mays. Jeffries concludes by celebrating
the recent rise in scholarship that draws attention to the fraternities
and sororities that have connected other Black trailblazers such as
these.
Including both widely recognized and
little-known individuals and featuring people who were on the front
lines of the struggle for racial equality and those whose work
took place behind the scenes, these volumes show the contributions of
Black leaders in the areas of science, civil rights, athletics, the
arts, the military, politics, education, and more. Leading Figures in the History of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.
is a testament to the significance of Black Greek-letter organizations,
whose members have made history through lives of struggle,
accomplishment, triumph, and uplift.
