Brother Brooke was a national treasure, and Alpha Phi Alpha will recognize his tremendous contributions to our country and the fraternity. It is because of brothers like him advocating for our communities that we are the College of Friendship, the University of Brotherly Love and the School for the Better Making of Men.

Fraternally,
