Over 25,000 AKA Women Converged on Nation's Capital for Historic Centennial Celebration They came from all over the globe to join over 25,000 of their sisters to pay honor to their 100 year old Sorority – Alpha Kappa Alpha. The historic milestone featured a yearlong commemoration, culminating in a gala week, July 11-19, of tributes, salutes and praise in Washington, D.C., where the Sorority was founded. The climactic celebration coincided with the Sorority’s biennial international confab, during which members made the pilgrimage to Howard University to honor the Alpha Kappa Alpha founders and celebrate the Sorority’s 100-year history. AKA women visited Washington D.C. for its Centennial international convention which was presided over by International President, Barbara A. McKinzie.  click here...   Inside this issue: COVER STORIES Over 25,000 AKA Women Cenverged on Nation's Capital for Historic Centennial Celebration EDITORIAL More Fallout in the Pasadena Police Department COMMUNITY NEWS...
