On Januray 6th, 2025, just one day after celebrating its 114th Founders’ Day, the gentlemen of Kappa Alpha Psi were honored by the City of Miami Gardens with a street renaming in their name.
“This is more than a street,” shared the Miami Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. in an Instagram post. “It’s a symbol of the impact of brotherhood, leadership, and service in our community.”
This recognition reflects the City of Miami Gardens’ ongoing commitment to highlighting Black excellence. The renaming joins a growing list of streets dedicated to the Black fraternities and sororities of the Divine Nine, an initiative spearheaded by Miami Gardens Councilman Reggie Leon.
Leon shared with NBC Miami that this is a way to ensure our history is not erased. The city has already unveiled street signage in honor of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. Resolutions to rename streets in honor of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. and Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. have already gone into effect, completing the recognition of all Divine Nine organizations.
