Bro. William Kellibrew IV

On October 17, Bro. William Kellibrew appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show to share his story about personal triumph. I regret not mentioning it here or even sharing the press release, but here are a few links from the appearance and a pic of him and Bro. Francis Hall from Kevin. Kevin’s story follows.

Oprah Winfey Show coverage (see pages 9 and 10)
Washington Post (Metro Section) – Oct 18, 2007

One day, I was on my rampage about Brothers not taking time out of their schedules to visit Bro. Hall. Bro. Kellibrew, promptly reminded me, Brother Christian, me and my LB’s visit Brother Hall on a regular basis and we sit with him and eat with him. One day Bro. Kellibrew fell asleep in Bro. Hall’s room. Bro. Hall told Brother Kellibrew’s LBs, to “leave him alone and let him sleep”

Eta Chapter: North Carolina A&T

There has been some debate over when ETA chapter was actually founded!

If any Eta chapter brothers could educate a brother I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Here is a 1962 Eta Chapter Picture. Hutt, isn’t Bro. McClure in your chapter?

But, check out the 1962 picture of the Omegas….2nd row center, a young Rev. Jesse L. Jackson. Send this to Omegas that you know.

In keeping with the single letter chapters,
