The roots of the 100 Black Men of America trace back to 1963 in New York City. A group of prominent Black men, including business leaders, professionals, and educators, recognized the urgent need to create opportunities for young African American males who faced systemic barriers to success. They came together to form an organization committed to mentorship and community service, and thus, the first chapter of the 100 Black Men was born.
