Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Selected Pastor Charlie Muller as Citizen of the year

ALBANY, NY (09/30/2011)(readMedia)-- The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated was founded in 1911 at the Howard University in Washington D.C. by three students and their faculty advisor. The founders of Omega Psi Phi were collegiate students Edgar Amos Love, Oscar James Cooper and Frank Coleman and their faculty advisor Ernest Everett Just. The fraternity is the first black fraternal organization to be founded at a historically black college.

Achievement Week was originally designed to promote the study of Negro life and history. It is observed in November of each year and is designed to seek out and give due recognition to those individuals at the local and international levels who have made a noteworthy contribution toward improving the quality of life for black Americans. In 1927, at the urging of our brother, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the fraternity made National Negro Achievement week an annual observance, and it continues today as Black History Month.

Pastor Charlie Muller will be honored with the Citizen of the year award for 2011 at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 1, 2011 at Crowne Plaza Albany, NY.
