Happy Birthday Bro. Francis L. Hall (August 7, 1915 – January 20, 2006)<\/p>\n

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<\/em>. These items belonged to Bro. Francis Hall, one of the co-authors of the Light<\/em>. I knew Bro. Francis Hall. He imparted so much knowledge, wisdom, and history on not only me, but so many Sigmas<\/strong> 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<\/u>. He joined Phi Beta Sigma May 6, 1935 – Alpha Chapter – Howard University<\/strong>. I have his autograph book, that Alpha Chapter and other Sigma brothers signed<\/a> when he was on line.<\/p>\n

Giving honor to Brother Hall. Happy Birthday Bro. Hall. Your Light continues to shine<\/strong><\/p>\n

God Bless and Thank You.<\/p>\n
