With Faith in God and Heart and Mind

“A well-crafted piece of scholarship that can only be characterized as a tour de force. . . . This well-researched book cloaked in an eye-catching purple and gold dust jacket will stand the test of time and serve as the standard bearer for similar works about Black Greek-letter organizations. I highly recommend it without qualification and in the strongest possible terms.”—Judson L. Jeffries, Journal of African American Studies

“A well-researched monograph that provides scholars who specialize in Black organizations a blueprint for solid research and writing. . . . I encourage all individuals, especially Omega Men, interested in Black history to read, discuss, and celebrate the great accomplishments of the fraternity, as spelled out in With Faith in God and Heart and Mind.”—Journal of African American History

“[D]etails the rich history of Omega Psi Phi, a historically Black fraternity founded in 1911 at Howard University.”—Journal of Southern History

“This well-researched and engaging Omega history is long overdue. I learned so much from reading it—there is no higher compliment from one who has lived much of this history.”—Congressman James E. Clyburn, member of Omega Psi Phi

“Far more than an institutional study, these pages bring to life the unrelenting pursuit of Black higher education and more than a century of commitment to full racial equality in America through the bond of brotherhood shared by all Omega men.”—Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham, Harvard University

“A highly original analysis of Omega Psi Phi’s commitment to coalition building with other social organizations and individuals that traverses an international and transnational landscape, brilliantly highlighting the ways in which the organization influenced and was influenced by Pan-African movements and maintained diasporic ties.”—Richard McKinley Mizelle Jr., author of Backwater Blues: The Mississippi Flood of 1927 in the African American Imagination
