EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. Taken by Dexheimer-Carlon Studios, it showcases members of the fraternity gathered in front of the Alpha Chapter house during the North Central Province regional meeting in 1937-1938. The founder and 1st Grand Polemarch Elder Watson Diggs commands attention as he stands at the center with his arms crossed, exuding authority and leadership. Among other notable figures captured in this image are John L. Stewart, W. Ellis Stewart, Irven Armstrong, Theophilus Mann, Julius Morgan, and Albert Spurlock - all prominent Kappa officials who played instrumental roles within the organization. Their presence speaks to their dedication to fostering brotherhood and academic excellence. The typed label on pink paper that accompanies this print reveals that Indiana University hosted this regional meeting for Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity during that time period. This historical artifact serves as a testament to African American heritage and cultural significance within higher education institutions like Indiana University. Preserved by the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this photograph is a powerful reminder of how fraternities like Kappa Alpha Psi have been instrumental in shaping communities while providing opportunities for personal growth and professional development among young African American men. As we reflect upon our shared history, let us celebrate these trailblazers who paved the way for future generations through their commitment to education, community service, leadership development, and brotherhood within organizations such as Kappa Alpha Psi.
