I agree...Project Alpha is one of the most important, however, i do highly support our following programs; I believe they are just as important:
"Go to high school, Go to College":
The "Go-To-High School, Go-To-College" Program, established in 1919, concentrated on the importance of completing secondary and collegiate education as a road to advancement. Statistics prove the value of this extra impetus in making the difference in the success of young African-American men, given that school completion is the single best predictor of future economic success. Through the Go-To-High School, Go-To-College educational initiative, young men receive information and learn strategies that facilitate success. Alpha men provide youth participants with excellent role models to emulate.
"A Voteless people is a Hopeless people":
"A Voteless People is a Hopeless People" was initiated as a National Program of the Fraternity in the 1930s when many African-Americans had the right to vote but were prevented from voting because of poll taxes, threats of reprisal, and lack of education about the voting process. Voter education and registration has remained a dominant focus of the outreach activity for over 65 years. In the 1990s, the focus has shifted to include political awareness and employment, delivered most frequently through town meetings and candidate forums.
