Thank you very much for this information. I've actually tried to do research on the First African American member of my own fratenrity, Alpha Phi Omega, and know it is no later than 1947 (when a chapter of Alpha Phi Omega chartered at NC A&T), but haven't been able to pin down where it was in 1943-1946.
