Alumni of Lambda Epsilon Foundation, Inc., (ALEF) is a non-profit organization established in 2006 through the efforts of many Lambda Epsilon Alumnus. This generation of African American male college graduates represents the most highly educated, the largest, and the most affluent group of Black men this nation has ever known or seen. To sustain that record of accomplishment, we are determined to promote ideals that will lead to building more of a sense of community among our young male students on campus and off. The Foundation’s board of directors has announced four major initiatives:
ALEF’s Philanthropy: Our sense of philanthropy is grounded in the educational and philanthropic work of Tuskegee University’s founding principal and master teacher, Booker T. Washington. Through his philanthropic outreach and ineffaceable commitment to uplifting the race, Washington observed: “My experience and observation have convinced me that persistent asking outright for money from the rich does not, as a rule, secure help. I have usually proceeded on the principle that persons who possess sense enough to earn money have sense enough to know how to give it away, and that the mere making known of the facts regarding Tuskegee, and especially the facts regarding the work of the graduates, has been more effective than outright begging. I think that the presentation of facts, on a high, dignified plane, is all the begging that most rich people care for.” (Up from Slavery, An Autobiography by Booker T. Washington)
ALEF resolves to continue Booker T. Washington’s work in the spirit and vision most attributable to him. We resolve to let no one drag us into a place of forgotten struggle or perpetual worth.
