  MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the DeKalb County Chapter 100 Black Men of America, Inc. is to improve the quality of life in our communities and enhance education and economic opportunities for all African-Americans.
 
 
 
  HISTORY

The DeKalb County Chapter 100 Black Men of America, Inc. was formed in 1992 with 14 businessmen from DeKalb County. The men wanted an organization in their community where they could devote their time and resources.

The Leadership Academy, the flagship community program, was conceptualized in 1991 to target young African American boys who are the target group in the community and at risk. The Chapter Board of Directors empowered the President-Elect to proceed in establishing a leadership program through the DeKalb Public School System. Working with the Chapter’s Education Committee and the DeKalb School System these men began the program in three schools: Snapfinger, Wadsworth and Knollwood Elementary Schools.
