I wondered if he had been greek.

I was rather embarrassed that I'd never heard of him prior to his death. He was someone that we all should know about!

Having recently moved to Harlem, Sutton's name is very familiar to me, but had no idea how much he'd done, nor his influence.

I do think I remember hearing he was a Kappa. May he RIP.

I didn't truly learn anything about him until my sophomore year's AFS class required a paper on a Civil Rights figure with little to no popularity. I'm amazed at all he's accomplished and the fact that we've never celebrated his contributions more....R.I.P brother Suttton.
