Who is considered the precursor of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.?

• A. Henry Arthur Callis
• B. Eugene Kinckle Jones
• C. Charles 'CC' Poindexter
• D. Robert Harold Ogle

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is who sparked the early movement that led to Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Poindexter is identified as the precursor because he organized the initial discussions and gathered peers who would become the seven founders. His leadership provided the impetus and planning that made it possible to form the fraternity; the others listed are renowned as founders who carried the project forward after the initial push. In short, Poindexter set the stage for the creation, while the others helped turn that spark into a formal organization.
