A VOTELESS PEOPLE IS A HOPELESS PEOPLE"A Voteless People is a Hopeless People" was initiated as a National Program of Alpha during the 1930's when many African-Americans had the right to vote but were prevented from voting because of poll taxes, threats of reprisal, and lack of education about the voting process. Through this program, the Fraternity engages in a voter education and registration campaign. In the 1990's the focus shifted to include political awareness and empowerment.
