            HONORING NATCHEZ (MS) KAPPA ALPHA PSI FRATERNITY

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BENNIE G. THOMPSON

                             of mississippi

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 9, 2024

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor some 
remarkable servants, Natchez Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity.
  On March 22, 1964, 12 noble men chartered the Natchez (MS) Alumni 
Chapter.
  The chapter's initial plan was to be named Alcorn Alumni Chapter of 
Kappa Alpha Psi, but due to restraints on campus, the chapter was moved 
to Natchez, Mississippi, which birthed the Natchez (MS) Alumni Chapter.
  With hard work and dedication, we salute the honorable charter 
members: Marino Casem, Eddie Coleman, John Dow, Grant Dungee, Lonnie 
Eiland, Chris Hester, Charles Humphrey, Willie Jackson, Robert Lewis, 
Albert Lott, Armand Pinkney, and Riley Williams.
  Brothers Armand Pinkney and Riley Williams were also charter members 
of the Gamma Pi Chapter.
  Sixty years later, the Natchez Nupes continue to achieve in every 
field of human endeavor.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Natchez 
(MS) Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi for their continuing dedication 
and tenacity to serving their community and desire to be an example for 
all.
