Soror 2D, thanks for posting this! Happy Incorporation Day, Sorors!
I have to tell a story that still gives me chills some nearly 25 years later. I had the opportunity and privilege of meeting Soror Norma Boyd at Washington National Airport (now Reagan). Boulé was held in Boston that year, and I met her and another Soror at the gate where I was Soror Boyd's wheelchair escort. I honestly didn't know who she was at the time, but when I found out who she was, it was hard for me to keep my composure! She actually started to tell me some of the history of what led to incorporation and before I knew it, an hour had passed. Still to this day, I get chills just thinking about it.
I told her that I was interested in Alpha Kappa Alpha, and she wished me the best and told me to let her know if I made it. Unfortunately, she died 3 years after that meeting, 5 years before I crossed.
But that's a moment that I'll never forget.
