Before the founding of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Myra Davis Hemmings was the president of Alpha Kappa Alpha. I think that it would be interesting to hear her account of the dissatification the group had for the sorority, as well as her own personal account as the president of such an organization that wasn't favorable to the members. I just want to know how she came to gripps with the fact that something needed to be done and just how she reacted to Madree Penn White's ideas to change the name, motto, color, and flower. I think that would have been a bit much to take in, even though they all new a change was needed.

I feel the same way you do. Especially since they were college students, this was a huge movement. And I would also like to know how all the founders felt manys years later, when their organization grew into something large and powerful.
I'm just in awe right now and I can't explain.
