House Resolution No. by Representative Travis Johnson designates April 15, 2024, as Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Day at the state capitol in recognition of the fraternity's 118th anniversary. Founded in 1906 at Cornell University, Alpha Phi Alpha is the first intercollegiate Greek letter fraternity established for African American men, with a mission focused on developing leaders, promoting brotherhood, and advocating for social justice. The fraternity has played a significant role in addressing educational, economic, and social injustices faced by African Americans and has been actively involved in the civil rights movement.

The resolution highlights the fraternity's various programs, such as the "Go-To-High-School, Go-To-College" campaign and voter registration initiatives, which aim to empower communities and support youth. Notable members include influential figures like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Thurgood Marshall, and W.E.B. Dubois. The resolution acknowledges the contributions of Alpha Phi Alpha members in Louisiana, including current legislators, and expresses hope for the fraternity's continued success in its mission of service and advocacy.
