Toland speaks on past and future of black America at Unity Breakfast
For 10 years, the local chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity has sponsored a Unity Prayer Breakfast in remembrance of the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The latest on Monday, January 19, had even more significance as it was held the day before the swearing in of Barack Obama as the first African-American president of the United States--certainly a step towards achieving the “dream” of Dr. King.
The tone for the breakfast was set by District Judge Aubrey Ford, president of the local Alpha Nu Lamba Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha, Dr. King’s fraternity when he was a student at Morehouse.
