Today, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® pauses in sisterhood and reverence as we honor the extraordinary life and enduring legacy of Reverend Jesse Jackson.

A tireless champion for justice, Rev. Jackson stood on the frontlines of the Civil Rights Movement, working alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and later founding the Rainbow PUSH Coalition to advance economic empowerment, voting rights, and educational equity. His historic presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988 expanded the political imagination of our nation, inspiring generations to believe that leadership at the highest levels was within reach.

As a proud member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated, our beloved Divine 9 Brother, he exemplified scholarship, perseverance, and uplift in action. With unwavering faith and fearless advocacy, he reminded us to “Keep Hope Alive,” a phrase that became both a rallying cry and a roadmap for progress.

We honor his courage. We honor his conviction. We honor his commitment to service.

And in true sisterly solidarity, we will continue the work, lifting every voice, serving all mankind, and choosing always to keep hope alive.

Love is always in season with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®! Sending Pink & Green love around the world today, and always. Happy Valentine’s Day!🩷💚

Before there was a legacy, there was a light.

Today, Central Region proudly honors the birthday of our beloved Founder, Ethel Hedgemon Lyle: the woman whose foresight, faith, and fearless commitment to excellence gave rise to Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. What began as a vision became a movement; what was sparked by her leadership continues to illuminate generations.

She did more than organize a sisterhood; she set a standard. A standard of scholarship, service, and sisterhood that remains uncompromising and enduring. As our guiding light, her legacy calls us not only to remember where we began, but to lead boldly where we are going.

Our sisterhood proudly stands in solidarity for Pink Goes Red, raising awareness around heart health and the impact of heart disease on women—especially Black women. Wearing pink and red is more than a moment; it’s a reminder that protecting our hearts is essential to sustaining our families, our communities, and our legacy of service.

This is our call to prioritize wellness, lean into prevention, and love ourselves with intention. Because strong hearts power strong women—and strong women change the world.
