Malcolm X, the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., and Morgan State College
Malcolm X, the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., and Morgan State College Judson L. Jeffries Black intellectuals and the rank and file shared a common esteem for Malcolm X.

Chadwick Boseman: The Best Was yet to Come
Chadwick Boseman: The Best Was yet to Come Judson L. Jeffries I first noticed this young man years ago when he appeared on a TV show called Lincoln Heights that ran from 2007 to 2009.

The next thing I knew, he was playing Jackie Robinson and then James Brown. I cringed when I learned he’d be playing Thurg…
