of its US congressional district lines. Previously in Pennsylvania, 13 of its 18 districts were drawn for Republican majorities despite Democrats holding a 5-4 voting margin. The districts were recently redrawn to be diverse and not dilute the minority vote. We saw in Alabama that good men and women organized to help Doug Jones win in the US Senate. They did not sleep; they acted.

As I close, I decided to borrow words from a song I frequently hear on the radio from Yung 6ix called Stay Woke. I need your help…I am going to say a phrase and when I point to the audience I want you to say, “And I Stay Woke.” Got it? Always grinding…and I stay woke/ Never sleeping…and I stay woke/ Haters creeping…and I stay woke/ Trump is tripping…and I stay woke/ Hate rising…and I stay woke/ Working smart…and I stay woke/ Progressing Kappa…and I stay woke/

Kappa Men do not sleep when there’s work to do!

I am glad our Founders were awake and aware when they formed this great fraternity. Their dedication has enabled great men to do what others only talked about.

Always voting…and I stay woke/ Loving GOD…and I stay woke.

Brothers, let’s get out the vote…and stay woke!!!
