Political Quotes

“I stand as a proud Member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. I have never felt more proud of the organization of which I am a life member than when it made the decision that in honor of one of its members, in honor of one of the greatest leaders that our Nation, or any Nation, has ever seen, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., it would establish a bust. I also echo the sentiments of the gentleman from California who pointed out the fact that these are private funds, that these are men all over America who are willing to make use of their own resources so that their resources could be a lasting testament to a member of their group. All has indeed been said that needs to be said. I am simply very proud this day to be a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, and I am proud to be a Member of this august body that I believe will make this decision in honor of a lasting tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.”
