Alpha Kappa Alpha

Across the St. Louis region, many members of Alpha Kappa Alpha ended the presidential election season Tuesday at watch parties. Many Black sorority members say they want the country’s next president to expand women's rights, create economic security for Black Americans and support education reform.

The Gamma Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority plans to turn the north St. Louis home of Ethel Hedgemon Lyle, one of its founders, into a museum for Black women. The chapter’s foundation also will build a community center next to the museum.
