In 1906, seven Black college men at Cornell University refused to accept isolation and instead created a brotherhood that would change history. They founded Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. — the first intercollegiate Black Greek-letter fraternity — and sparked a movement that helped shape civil rights, leadership, and service in America. From supporting landmark Supreme Court cases to honoring the dream with the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, the impact of the Seven Jewels still echoes today.

It’s National Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Week! This week, we’re proud to recognize our incredible Mid-Del staff members who are HBCU alumni. Their experiences, leadership, and passion for education continue to enrich the lives of our students every day. We celebrate their journey, their legacy, and the lasting impact they make in our schools and community. Thank you for inspiring the next generation of learners and leaders! #mdpurpose #OneDistrictOneFamily #HBCUWeek | Mi
