"This book explores the past and future of the nine black Greek-letter organizations that make up the National Pan-Hellenic Council, and places the history of these organizations in context, linking them to other movements and organizations that predated them and tying their history to one of the most important movements of United States history - the civil rights struggle"--Jacket
The first African American fraternities and sororities were established at the turn of the twentieth century to encourage leadership, racial pride, and academic excellence among black college students confronting the legacy of slavery and the indignities of Jim Crow segregation. Among their ranks are legendary artists, politicians, theologians, inventors, intellectuals, educators, civil rights leaders, and athletes
