The Orlando Alumni Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated and its Dr. I.S. Hankins/F.A. Johnson Education Foundation are preparing for the 33rd Annual MLK Commemorative Luncheon and 15th Annual MLK Leadership Forum and hope you are able to attend! Join Fraternity members and the Mayor of Orlando’s MLK Holiday Commission to celebrate what would be Dr. King’s 89th birthday.

We invite you to attend our Dr. Martin Luther King 2019 event schedule, and help us answer the question, “Are We Fulfilling The American Dream?”

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 ask this 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?

Join us at the MLK Leadership Forum to discuss this important topic. The MLK Leadership Forum is on Thursday, January 17 at the Florida A&M College of Law beginning a 6:30 PM.

Then on the following day, attend the MLK Commemorative Luncheon for an inspirational and uplifting luncheon on Friday, January 18 at the First Baptist Church on John Young Parkway beginning at 11:30 AM (doors open at 11:00 AM).

At the Luncheon, community leaders and organizations will be recognized for their contributions to the community with the prestigious DRUM MAJOR AWARD! Categories are Scholarship (student), Civic Affairs, Social Justice, Community Service and Business. Proceeds from this event provide college scholarships to local male students, fund the Young Men of Distinction mentoring program and provide support to other educational initiatives of the Foundation.

We look forward to your support and attendance.
