If the Omega founders didn't find what they were looking for, so be it. But don't say there was no brotherhood. If there wasn't, we certainly wouldn't have lasted for a century.

I'm relating what he said.This goes directly to the issue being raised in this thread. This is history. He said something in a speech I read ,not mentioning APhiA by name,which was a bit stronger. From what I've heard--from people I've known who met him and from his testimony--he was a good and gracious man who loved God and humanity, esp. young people, a scholar and a gentleman; but he also didn't mince his words. He was one who spoke his mind about what he believed, not out of pettiness or jealousy but out of his idealist convictions of what was right and wrong in his mind, whether it was taking to task those in one of his congregations for being misguided and falsely sanctimonious when the church elders got on him for putting a pool table in his church for the young people to keep them out of the streets or playing badminton with them on Sundays and the injurious nature of Fraternity politics to his views on communism and African American self-help philosophy.He verbally "wrecked."
