(Each Monday during the academic year, I feature a "Campus Highlight": a unique, interesting, and noteworthy student organization, program, or initiative that demonstrates the amazing things college students do each and every day across the country.)
For today's Campus Highlight, I'm featuring Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. They led the efforts to build the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial in Washington, D.C. With the help of their alumni, Alpha Phi Alpha was able to meet its goal and "commemorate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by leading a collaborative funding, design and construction process in the creation of a memorial to honor his national and international contributions to world peace through non-violent social change."
In addition to bringing such a valuable resource to the nation's capital and creating such a moving tribute to Dr. King, Alpha Phi Alpha demonstrates the power of what happens when people who met in college come together. Well done, Alpha Phi Alpha!
