Honoring a Legend

Happy Birthday Bro. Francis L. Hall (August 7, 1915 – January 20, 2006)

Brothers, I have in my possession, what I believe is one of the first editions of the Sigma Light, it is has many edits, changes, and highlights in it. I also have the manuscript of what I believe was from the first edition of the Sigma Light. These items belonged to Bro. Francis Hall, one of the co-authors of the Light. I knew Bro. Francis Hall. He imparted so much knowledge, wisdom, and history on not only me, but so many Sigmas that his memory lives in all of us. He made sure, that his vast collection was entrusted to me, and as I share his items with you daily, I hope you pass it on to those on your list serves and email list. Bro. Hall as you can see kept almost everything. He joined Phi Beta Sigma May 6, 1935 – Alpha Chapter – Howard University. I have his autograph book, that Alpha Chapter and other Sigma brothers signed when he was on line.

Giving honor to Brother Hall. Happy Birthday Bro. Hall. Your Light continues to shine

God Bless and Thank You.
