The home of Col. Charles
Young, the first black to reach
the rank of colonel in the United
States military, was purchased by
the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.
The announcement was made by
Dr. L. Benjamin Livingston,
grand basileus.
The colonial-style mansion
with 60 acres of property located
in Xenia, Ohio, near the campus
\\/:iu?f ? ^ -
wi TTuucnurtc ana central State
universities, was purchased for
$90,000.
In addition to being the home
of the first black to become a colonel
in the army, the Col. Young
home was part of a major route
of the Underground Railroad by
which slaves escaped to the North
from the South. A tunnel
underneath the house still exists.
Acquisition of the Young mansion
culminated the first step of a
major project of Omega Psi Phi,
and paves the way for the
development of an historical
museum and a senior citizens
complex.

was founded at Howard University
by Dr. Edgar Love, Oscar
Cooper, Frank Coleman and Dr.
Ernest Just. Just, who was the
faculty advisor at the time of the
founding, was the first honorary
member. The other two honorary
members were Carter G. Woodson,
father of Afro-American
history, and the late Count Basie.
Col. Young was active with the
fraternity until his death in
Africa (Liberia) on Jan. 2, 1922.
He was the ranking black in the
U.S. military at the time of his
death.
The highlight of his involvement
with the fraternity came
when he served as the keynote
speaker at the fraternity's Ninth
Grand Conclave in Boston in
1919. That conclave also featured
then-Massachusetts Gov. Calvin
Coolidge, who four years later
became the country's 13th president.
In 1922, Omega Psi Phi
established Omega Memorial
Day to commemorate the work
of Col. Young. Today, Omega
