I LOVE Rev. Adams, I go to Greater Grace. I used to attend Good Friday services at Hartford. BTW he was by far, the best speaker at Rosa's funeral!

I know he was with that hour long sermon-prayer he did. lol:D

Re: Read the Title

Umm, I read the title, hence why I included Rev. Wright...I figured I would add two more pastors, since others were including pastors who were NOT Omegas! So I am not the only person you need to quote...

The title says Omegas but the first post asks for other Greeks as well so I apologize if I came across with an attitude. :cool:

Minister Louis Farrakahn is an ETERNAL LAMP. I was honored to meet a couple of old school bruhs from Winston Salemn State a few years back. Very interesting story about "Lampado Louis Walcott" who ran track for the school.

Farrakahn the LAMP!

Minister Louis Farrakahn is an ETERNAL LAMP from Winston Salem. Minister Bro. Kahlid Muhammad (RIP PBUH) was a Bruh too.

What did they have to say about Lampado Louis Walcott?

Old Heads were very much off the chain in describing their experiences at Winston Salemn State while having Lampado Wolcott as their line brother. One of them I met out of all places in a New England State while serving in the military. The bruh was tight and had 200 PERCENT hospitility for bruhs. I remember him as having nothing but LOVE for the college bruhs especially the bruhs of GAMMA. His favorite quote "GAMMA IS GREAT!" This brother also was LOADED with plenty of $$$$ too. Every year he was the host of a PAJAMA PARTY at his estate (yes, ESTATE). I lost contact with him about 20 years ago, but should any bruhs out in the New England area know of him PLEASE spread the word that he is a BRUH of FUN! His son pledged Kappa at FAMU too and the bruh damn near disowned him and even broke his son's cane when he came home for break! No kidding!

Anyhow, Lampado Wolcott was one heck of a Lamp from what I was informed.

They stated the Minister was one of the fastest men on campus and the bruhs used his musical talent to serenade sweethearts outside the women dorms.

Times obviously were intense back then too. Afterall, we are talking about the dogmatic 50's. Being from the 70's (74 thank you very much) I can attest that the heat was brought.

Lampado Wolcott (Farrakahn) has made mention a few times during speaking engagements his respect for Omega and has given credit to the bruhs.

You learn something new everyday!

Rev. Spencer Ellis, Citadel of Praise-Detroit, MI and International Pentecostal Young People's Union Chief of Staff(Alpha)
Jeremiah Wright-Trinity United Church of Christ -Chicago (Omega)

Check out the pic of Rev. Wright "throwin' up the hooks" in church(on the first line of pics) @ <http://www.rhogammagamma.org/photos.htm>

Also, Father Richard Tolliver, Rector of St. Edmund's Episcopal Church in Chicago, is a Que.

LOL, this reminds me of the pastor of my church at home, Pastor R. Benjamin Gaither of Stronghold Christian Church...he is an Omega, and he started our church with his wife. Consequently our church colors are PURPLE and GOLD...no doubt! :D He's also a sherriff in my home county.

When a visiting pastor who was also an Omega came to speak, the two of them threw up the hooks and did their calls on stage! I was rollin :)

I did not know that Dean Richardson is a Que...but it would make a lot of sense because the Ques run Howard...his son is also an Omega...
