Eddie Broomfield: The Ultimate
Measure of a Man By Hope E. Whitehead, Esq.  In my first conversation with Mr. Broomfield he said to me “I’m in to this AME thing all the way.” Of course my immediate response was “Me too.” After talking with Mr. Broomfield for one hour I now realize how naïve my response was. I am sure there are some people who have been members of Wayman longer than Mr. Broomfield but this is not about the passage of time. Although, Mr. Broomfield surpasses many on that score as well. Mr. Broomfield has been a member of the Wayman Nation for 54 years. He started attending Wayman when it was located on 23rd and Cole but he didn’t “join”. He “joined” Wayman when it moved to its present location 54 years ago. For Mr. Broomfield, “joining” Wayman was a significant commitment. Mr. Broomfield was very clear about the responsibility he was undertaking. His father was an AME minister and he knew that this was much more than a Sunday retreat followed by brunch at Sweetie Pie’s. But, he was ready to move his life in a new direction. As Mr. Broomfield says” “when I moved here in 1944, I was young and I had to get a few wild hairs out of the way.” Ten years later Mr. Broomfield took control of those “wild hairs”. He got married, started a family and joined the Wayman Nation.
Mr. Broomfield was then, and is now, a passionate member of Wayman. At forty-seven years and going, Mr. Broomfield sets the record as the longest member of the Steward Board. He was the secretary, the chairman pro tem and the treasurer. In fact, Wayman entrusted Mr. Broomfield as our church treasurer for twenty-five years. Mr. Broomfield is AME to the bone. Mr. Broomfield was: 1st VP of the 55th District Lay Organization – 8 years; President of Wayman Lay organization – 10 years; Member of the 55th District Economical Development Board – 9 years; Served on the Preliminary Inquiry committee – 4 years; Delegate to General Conference – 5 times and on the General Conference commission – 4 years. Mr. Broomfield did all of this while being married and raising five children.
When I first started talking to Mr. Broomfield I got the impression that this was a careful and deliberate man who planned his every move well in advance. By the end of the conversation I realized that I was wrong. As an elder Mr. Broomfield has the benefit of hindsight and experience to give wise and sage advice to guide new AMEs like me. But for Mr. Broomfield, life has not been a straight path to victory. His mother died when he was very young forcing him to grow up before he was ready so he could help raise his three brothers and two sisters. As a young father Mr. Broomfield and his wife spent many days and nights in the emergency room getting treatment for a chronically ill daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Broomfield are now divorced. After 39 years on a job Mr. Broomfield was forced to retire or lose his seniority as one company gobbled up the other company. So, life for Eddie Broomfield has not been a crystal stair. Mr. Broomfield epitomizes what Martin Luther King, Jr. describes as the “ultimate measure of a man”. Martin said, the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
I asked Mr. Broomfield to tell me the verse that best depicts his journey through life and he cited Psalm 27:1. The LORD is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear. The LORD is the stronghold of my life – whom shall I be afraid. With a deep abiding faith in the Lord and the principles and discipline of the AME church Mr. Broomfield is the ultimate measure of a man.
