It played today. I recorded it on my DVR. It was very interesting.

Saw it on Friday! Finally played here in the Pyramids and it was GREAT! A true story of American History and how Alpha played in it.

This documentary is scheduled on UNC-TV

A historical documentary on Alpha Phi Alpha, America's largest and oldest black fraternity. W.E.B. Dubois, Jesse Owens, Duke Ellington, Edward Brooke, Thurgood Marshall, Andrew Young, and Martin Luther King, Jr. are among the countless Alpha men who have dedicated their lives to scholarship, manly deeds, and love for all mankind. The history of these men is the history of America, and their place in the vanguard of the Civil Rights struggle is unparalleled. This is the story of Alpha Phi Alpha's century of leadership and service

I am currently deployed in Iraq so I dont get to watch much TV. a Frat mailed me a copy yesterday and I thought it was abcolutely great. I learned a lot. I am a memeber of Eta Lambda and have met former General President Ozel Sutton many times. But I never knew he was in the hotel where Brother King was shot. That is real history there.

...keep your head down and come home safe, bruh.

Thanks bruh, I sure will.

They finally showed it in SC today!
 

I really enjoyed the special. I saw most of it (but I did record it) and I am very impressed by all of the contributions that Alphas all over have made!!:D :D

Saw it this weekend.. just watching it makes me proud to be a part of such a great brotherhood:cool:

Alpha Phi Alpha, a century of...
 

I saw the program last night and I was impressed. It reminded me of why I chose Alpha, and all the responsibility that goes with being a member of ETL chapter.

Aint that right TonyB06, Dirty, !!!!!!!

God has truly smiled on the bruhs.

You are right about it, OA. As I watched and saw A Phi A's national (and local) excellence demonstrated in so many areas, and how we're continuing leadership into the future, it just reinforced for me why it was Alpha or nothing at all.

"First of All, Servants of All, We Shall Transcend All."

Good Program very interesting..Big up to the Alpha's:)

I just caught the Alpha documentary this past Sunday. I was truly amazed and humbled at the experience, especially to see some of my chapter brothers in the film.

Tight picture!

I saw most of it earlier this week. It was very well done and informative. As a member of the D9, I was very proud.

Re: picture
 

Hey thanks Frat. Original Ape, how is it that I can't post my ape picture as an avatar or as a signature at the bottom of my page?

I greatly enjoyed this documentary. I don't see how after seeing this, a Brother could not be reenergized.

Heeeeyyyyy Ice *smooches*

Picture/Avatar?
 

Eh Bruh, I don't know. I never knew how to do alot of the stuff some people here do. I wanted to know how to change the color of my font to old gold. Hopefully somebody will respond to this and we'll both learn how to put up pictures and thangs.

Eh Bruh,

With Bruhs like you leading the chapter, we will always be a part of history-making ventures!

You should post a picture of it and tell the story!

I finally got to see it last night - finished watching it today and I was in ah of the contributions that the fraternity has made in 100 years. GREAT history!Congratulations to you all and I can't wait to see the next 100 year contributions!

Help
 

Hello everyone. Does anyone know where I can obtain a copy of this DVD? It was going to be released around July I believe, but no word, and I'm understandably anxious after reading and hearing all of the positive comments. Any help would be apreciated. Thanks.

I spoke with a lady from MPT(Maryland Public Television) and she said she has been getting a lot of calls about purchasing this DVD. She said to continue to check there web site and whenever it is available it will be on the site. http://www.mpt.org/programsinterests/alpha/#video

Thanks for the info. I'll keep checking.

The documentary was on tonight here in Houston. I really did enjoy it. The one thing that I liked about it is that it was balanced - there was equal time spent on the Founders and the founding of APhiA, prominant members and the community service that your fraternity has done and is doing. I liked it a lot.

Just viewed the documentary about 3min ago. Very informative. Props to the men of APhiA.

I was fortunate to view it earlier- before the centennial, and recognized several prominent members of the organizatiion from my previous community.

I just have to say that I absolutely LOVED this documentary. I have just begun taking a serious intrest in NPHC organizations as I will be off to college in 3 months. Of course the first thing I was privy to were the sterotypes of the different organizations. I must say that this documentary portrays Alphas in the light that all of the organizations should be portrayed in. How involved in the history of our country Alphas were and still are! It is hard to express the amount of pride (to be black) and respect (for the Alphas) I felt in watching this video. It makes me want to learn more about the history of all the organizations.

Truly amazing. Ultimate kudos to all the Alphas out there!

I went to school with a couple of guys in the documentary.

Brothers-

I have been trying to find a copy of the documentary. I know its on youtube.com but I would like my own copy. I don't think that it is being sold through the Alpha shop anymore and I haven't had any success getting it from PBS. Any suggestions??

I wish I knew!!!
 

Hey Bruh;

I just stopped in and read this. I wish I knew how to do alot of the stuff they do here. If I ever find out, I'll revisit this question and leave the answer with you.

They don't sell it anymore?!! That's too bad! Every brother should have the opportunity to own a copy of this documentary. I can burn a copy for you if you need one.
