Hello everyone!
It's so funny that "Our Kind of People" was mentioned in this forum. After reading the book, I let a white co-worker of mine read it. This book has been passed around to about 5 people at my company already.(I am the only African American woman at my company) I've had so many people stop by my office to tell me, "I didn't know". It feels so good to share our positive history with them. I felt like saying, "How ya like me now"! but I didn't go there. I am so glad that this book was written. It not only educates us, but can be used as a tool to educate the white community as well.
OneDay, you are not alone. I am also looking forward to the day when I can be a part of the "rich" history of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.... hopefully real soon. I read the section on sororities and fraternities before I read the rest of the book and I felt the same way you did.
Have a blessed week everyone!
