A Night to Honor Alpha Phi Alpha was involved in many activities during the 1994-1995 school year, perhaps one of the largest being the annual salute to African- American women. The 1994 guest speaker was Clementine Barfield, the founder of a grassroots organization known as Save our Sons and Daughters . This organization was made up of parents who wanted to promote a national movement for peace. Additionally, the evening ' s program included the recognition of the Mary H. Gra- ham scholarship recipient. This scholarship was developed in honor of the first African- Ameri-! can woman ever to graduate from the University of Michigan. The $500 scholarship was awarded, to a graduating African-American female who was seeking further education in graduate school. The night also included a presentation honoring an outstanding female African- Ameri- can administrator on campus. Finally, all of the African- American organizations on campus were recognized for their efforts and achievments.
