U. S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Vice-President Kamala Harris, and Novelist Toni Morrison, just to name a few, were all members of black sororities or fraternities.  These organizations, commonly referred to as the “Divine Nine,” play an integral role in many African Americans’ lives.  Please join us in exploring the rich history and traditions of these quintessential African American organizations.  And we invite all participants to wear their “colors” and share their personal stories of how black Greek life organizations helped shape their lives.  To register for the event, please send an email to LAED_RSVP@laed.uscourts.gov.  To view the event flyer, please click here.
