I agree. Frank Summers is another reason we have my province and he is the reason for many other things.
I wanna explore this particular thread BUT I know we can only go so far.
No need for certain individuals reaping the rewards of our conversations.

What I've always found interesting was knowing that it all started not just at IU but at Howard. As I can remember, EWD and Byron K. Armstrong were enrolled at Howard before they went to IU. That would have been in 1909-1910. I don't know how true this is, but I believe they were approached by a fraternity there. The only fraternity at Howard then would have been the Beta chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha. Apparently, EWD, and Byron K. Armstrong weren't happy with certain members, so they declined. They could have also taken interest in the fraternity, but there isn't any known record of that as far as I know of.

I believe that's true also. I remember some of EWD's quote about the fraternity; it wasn't a great description of these individuals. I believe they left to be closer to home. And they did decline. That's in the Story.

The "DREAMER" was born in Western KY...around Hopkinsville to be exact.

This is from the prologue of the story:
In the summer of 1910, Irven Armstrong was such a student. His cousin, Byron K. Armstrong, had attended Howard University during 1909-1910 school year, and there had formed friendship with Elder Watson Diggs. Both were approached by a fraternity, and both declined pledgeship because they disapproved the attitudes and action of certain members.
