On January 18, 2019, The Orlando Alumni Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated and its Dr. I.S. Hankins/F.A. Johnson Education Foundation hosted our 33rd Annual MLK Commemorative Luncheon.

In a commencement address given at Lincoln University on June 6, 1961, Dr. King used the question of American Dream as the subject of his speech. In that address Dr. King charged the graduating class and the audience not to be detached spectators, but involved participants and make contributions to the ongoing structure of our society toward the realization of the America dream.

So, we posed the question once again, “Are we Fulfilling the American Dream?” And how does the American dream apply as it relates to today’s political, economic, social, criminal justice reform and the current worlds challenges?
