MITCHELL WRIGHT SPELLMAN M.D.

My condolences to the Spellman family. I just recently heard about Dr. Spellman's passing. After reading the obituary, i am struck by how humble he was. i had the pleasure of attending many family events and had no idea I was in the presence of such a great man.

On November 11, 1938 Bro. Mitchell W. Spellman and seven other men chartered the Beta Phi Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity located on the campus of Dillard University. Since that day every brother of Beta Phi learned your name and held high the principles of scholarship, service and brotherhood. I want to say thank you Bro. Spellman for setting the bar high for us to follow in your example of excellence. It was an honor to have been in your presence in 2004 and to learn of your early...

My prayers are with the Spellman Family. I feel like a member of the family because I was delivered by Dr.Frank Spellman also my five sisters in Alexandria,Louisiana. Dr. Spellman named me after Mrs. Spellman. I spent time with them during the summers. The people of Alexandria were very close to this family. May God Bless all of you.

What a beautiful photo of Dr. Spellman. It is exactly how I remember him at those wonderful gatherings at your family home on Colorado Ave. and in Newton, MA. He was shining light and inspiration for African American and human achievement during a very difficult period of U.S. history.
