Who is NOT one of the founders of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.?

• A. Bishop Edgar Amos Love
• B. Dr. Oscar James Cooper
• C. W.E.B. Du Bois
• D. Frank Coleman

Answer: (C)

W.E.B. Du Bois is indeed not one of the founders of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. The fraternity was established in 1911 at Howard University by the contributions of Bishop Edgar Amos Love, Dr. Oscar James Cooper, and Frank Coleman, along with a fourth member, Ernest Everett Just, who is also recognized as one of the founders.

Du Bois, although a significant figure in the African American community and known for his civil rights activism and scholarly work, was not involved in the founding of Omega Psi Phi. His work focused primarily on social issues, education, and pan-Africanism, but it did not include the formation of this particular fraternity. Understanding the specific contributions of the fraternity's founders is essential to recognizing the legacy they established, distinct from the broader civil rights efforts in which figures like Du Bois participated.
