Our Story

IWW Distributions was an idea and dream that was in the minds of its two owners for nearly 20 years.  Roderick Walton and Jerry Williamson met on the campus as students at Howard University in the late 70‘s. 
Fast forward nearly 40+ years… Roderick admired the unique Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity car emblem on Jerry’s car and wanted to know where he could purchase one. The company that manufactured them had gone out of business. Right then, an idea was born and the dream came into focus.
