[IMAGE] As Mayor of the City of New Orleans and a past General President of Alpha Phi Alpha, it gives me a distinct honor and pleasure to welcome you to New Orleans to commemorate your 77th Anniversary. For over three-quarters of a century, Alpha Phi Alpha has served as an instrument for improvement of college life, and its alumni members have provided service and leadership throughout the nation. Alpha Phi Alpha has contributed its resources to other national organizations such as the United Negro College fund, the National Urban League, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In doing so, you are following the highest principles of the founders of Alpha Phi Alpha and serve as a model for other fraternal organizations. The citizens of New Orleans join me in congratulating Alpha Phi Alpha. I am confident that your 77th Anniversary convention will be a success and that you will chart a course for continued leadership to the youth of our nation. Sincerely and fraternally, Ernest M.
