Alpha Kappa Alpha Reignite the Passion of Community Involvement with the Rev. Al Sharpton

"Historical representation personified" – these were the words used by Rev. Al Sharpton as he described Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® and its international president, Dr. Glenda Baskin Glover, during the sorority’s 90th South Central Regional Conference. The Rev. Sharpton took the stage and gave a powerful speech, sharing with the audience his appreciation for the organization’s contributions and his longstanding dedication to community service. As a vocal and prominent figure in civil rights activism, the Rev. Sharpton’s words reignited a sense of pride during an event that was a reminder and celebration of black excellence.
