Book Reviews of Jewels: The Story of the Founding of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity
Book Review: Story of Change
Summary: 4 Stars
This story appeals to a large audience. I personally think both greeks and non greeks can benefit. For non-greeks this story gives information in an informal understanding as to why we have a Black Fraternal System and will always need it. This is a story of motivation, bringing change and even more evolving the Black community to greater achievements. This book also motivates black men to dream, to have courage when face with adversities and initiate change. I thought there could have been a little more details (not with regards to fraternity information). Also someone that states what happened with the founders and brief information on the Fraterity, like motto, mission etc.
