H.Res. 768 is a ceremonial resolution that honors Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., on reaching its 118th anniversary as an organization. Founded in 1906 at Cornell University as the first intercollegiate fraternity established by African-American men, Alpha Phi Alpha has grown to include over 720 chapters across the United States and internationally, headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. The resolution recognizes the fraternity's motto of "First of All, Servants of All, We Shall Transcend All" and highlights its notable members, including civil rights leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, and current Senator Raphael Warnock. The resolution also acknowledges the fraternity's community programs, such as voter registration efforts, educational initiatives for young people, and support services for senior members and those with disabilities. This is a non-binding congressional tribute with no funding or implementation timeline—it simply expresses the House's commendation for the organization's 118 years of service to communities.
