Of course it would be a pleasure to meet all of them but Myra Davis Hemmings is the "one" founder I would like to meet and chat with. 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.

Meeting any one of "The 22" would be an honor and a privilege. I find it fascinating they had the "audacity" to "think outside of the box" and create something that had never been created before- a sorority with a public service agenda. It was indeed VISIONARY!

She was and still is the epitome of a strong determined hard working women, that didn't let race or gender stop her from achieving.
I would definitely have to agree with this quote.
