Sorhors and Friends,
Movies like "School Daze" and constant news reports that glorify the stepping and hazing are very damaging to BGLO's. We all need to focus on better strategies to let the greater society understand the real purpose and focus of our great organizations. There's an interesting article in the Aurora located in the From Him section of the magazine titled "How To Get Your Brand." The author; Walter M. Kimbrough, says that "we've lost some of our relevance and it's time for someone to craft a new brand that hopefully other groups will model. We need a new brand for Black Fraternalism." When I first read the article I was taken back a bit and unnerved from the boldness of the it, however, the more I thought about it I realized there's a lot of truth in his presentation. We are losing some of our relevance and we can thank folks like Spike Lee and even our own brothers and sisters in our perspective organizations for doing damage to us. We (BGLOs) need to do a reality check and do it fast before it's too late.
